There were plans to include it but the devs decided its not yet ready 
for prime time. Once you look at it you will see its still pretty 
bare-bones. Also I heard from someone that there is currently no support 
for locations outside the usa. The design is very modular and it should 
be easy to add support for other sources and locations once it hits 
prime time.
