There never was a really good reason to support it. The OpenPGP working group added TWOFISH as a 256-bit cipher (and not incidentally a 128-bit blocksize), and later AES. There is nothing specifically wrong with CAST6, but given that OpenPGP has both TWOFISH and AES, there isn't really a pressing reason to include CAST6 too.
