Because there's no Darwin release?

There's Darwin 7.2.1, over a year old and not supporting current  
Apple hardware. Selected hardware on i386, only.

There's Darwin 8.0.1, not rebuildable from public sources and  
requiring SSE2 extensions on i386. Additionaly, it's known to be  
neither stable nor reliable.

That said, there's an upcoming Darwin 8.x release expected. After  
months of work, the small Darwin community finally seems to manage a  
rebuild from sources Apple released as "open".
