There is reasons, although not good ones. Adding more fruit had been 
indefinitely delayed due to :
- lack of fruit graphisms and names
- risk of too powerfull conversion strategy (wrong argument, map 
designer may rescrict number of fruit)

This said, I'm quite positive for adding more fruits (albeit after 0.19, 
which should be released as soon as I can get Nuage look at the explorer 
upgrading bug). In the mean time, feel free to provide new fruit 
graphics ;-)
