Because nobody is working on it currently (I mean sparse/narrow clone.
There are alternatives, you can search the archive). I had a WIP some
time ago but there are still problems to be resolved before moving it

time for it, such a big feature may get months to be accepted. Anybody
is welcome to give it a try though.
