I think it's because it's not clear the degree of support that will be
able to be provided.

The PostgreSQL Foundation was planning to be involved in sponsoring
it, in raising some funds to assist (possibly) with things like
travel, accomodations, and other logistical matters.

There have been some IRS "woes," as PGF's application for charitable
status was turned down. The big decision looming around that was
whether to do such things as:
- Closing shop in favor of joining an umbrella organization like
SPI <http://www.spi-inc.org/>

- Searching for a bunch of legal funds to try to stitch up the IRS
situation

That looks like that will soon be arriving some resolution; it won't
make sense to start "screaming" away until the next steps come along.
