Thinking "subject-oriented" way: it is clear that today ROOT is a HEP-oriented
(not to forget - HEP-funded) project, so it is not a surprise that its 
development is driven by the HEP needs, where HEP stands for High Energy 
Physics, and not by numerous Linux initiatives. It it completely not obvious 
in which way the HEP community could benefit from this port. 
	Even if there were such benefits, it seems very
unlikely that the community (and thus - the funding agencies) could 
be convinced in that on a short term time scale.
