There are seeral reasons, the most prominent being

1) because it's simply not needed in 95% of all cases

2) because it's bad to distribute vital configuration information into
   several independent files

and

3) because we're preparing the grounds for a Kconfig based setup so we
   want to have all config options controlled by a single mechanism
   (board config file).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
