Because no one has ported an open source version of it

Some packages might be more easily ported if RPM's
became a common way to package cygwin packages. Much
of the porting effort is in converting to the cygwin installer.
Someone asked about logrotation a while back and I was
surprised no one had ported a logrotate package. I pulled
the source RPM from my SuSE distro, and was able to
produce a binary RPM in about 10 minutes, then I realized
RPM's weren't a desirable format for cygwin packages.
I'm sure there's some good reason for converting all
packages to yet another installer, but I'm not sure I know
what they are. One side effect, though -- it can put a
damper on porting programs over when most (or all) of the
work is in converting to the a different installer.
