I think, the main reason is the required amount of developer time needed
for that move and the continued maintainence of the moved packages.

Sunrise has the advantage, that the packages per dev ratio is higher
then for packages proxied in the main tree as the user does all the work
(prepare, test, commit and update the ebuilds), the devs do just a
review of the ebuild itself during the first commit or for bigger
changes, so less time per packages required.
