You're assuming I don't want to support it. I do.
The problem is that I need NAND reading and a FIRM menu. I don't want to implement the FIRM menu until I implement plaintext configuration files, because it'll end up a dirty hack I have to fix later. Implementing plaintext configuration files is currently on hold since I'm doing a lot of code cleanup on dependencies / abstraction. Plaintext configs would be a dirty hack rather than a clean interface if I did it now.
tl;dr - Future proofing. I'm staying away from dirty hacks that will screw up the codebase even worse right now.
