That's mostly because it's trivial -- you can only add to the meta area and the area above the buttons.

Until I get time to work on facets, the least we could do is put some more flexibility in trunk if the request is reasonable, well thought out and tested. Of course, you can always just copy the current UI and modify it to fit your needs in an extension. If you have other extensions that do the same, however, this could be sticky -- see the recent discussions about reorder/CopyMove.
As always, patches are welcome. Since it is open source, you are also welcome to modify the codebase yourself.
