I would have to defer that question to someone who makes decisions regarding what goes into Clojure/ClojureScript, and what does not.
Of course, anyone else is free to create libraries that try to make portability between those two platforms easier. Perhaps someone has already taken a go at creating such a thing? I haven't used ClojureScript myself yet, so haven't looked for anything in that area.
