Why no instfs.tgz for all ports?

Hi all,

Something I was just made aware of today is that not all port releases have
an instfs.tgz, containing a minimal root filesystem for diskless clients
(amongst other uses). sparc and sparc64 certainly do (although in different
locations - netboot/ and misc/ repsectively), but alpha and i386 don't. I
didn't check all the ports - those were the ones I had at hand.

Is there any reason why the other ports don't have an instfs.tgz built? Is
there any reason not to add it?
