Three reasons:
* There is going to be duplication across multiple boards
* It confuses the affair of trying to find the minimal configuration needed
  to boot the board.
* SRAM is limited already - we have been playing all kind of dances
  around this - NAND is a daughter card addon - while I am not trying to
  diminish NAND support, we are in a constant struggle to keep SRAM
  viable and adding additional boot modes to a single config, IMHO is
  the wrong direction to go.
