Yes, although one can argue it isn't a *good* reason.

The reason is that the installer would have to be able to do a 
VFAT-to-MSDOS transformation on the entire path in order to encode it in 
ldlinux.sys (encoding something like the starting sector of a directory 
is unsafe in FAT, since it's not guaranteed to stay put.)

Not all environments can do that natively, which means I would have had 
to write libfat code for it, and that would have made it take a lot longer.

In general I consider that a potential future addition.
