The problem isn't that people aren't aware that such platforms 
are important. The problem is that there aren't enough people 
interested in those platforms actually getting their hands dirty 
themselves, or in this case, continuing work that has begun and 
then stalled some years ago. Hoping that someone else will do the 
work eventually just isn't enough and doesn't get anything done.
Also note that LDC's Android support is stalled as well, as the 
single person driving it has sadly left the community.
