Why is jfxrt.jar not distributed as .pack?

Hi,

the subject says it all. rt.jar is delivered inside the jre installer as a
.pack file to reduce download bandwidth / distribution size. Why is
jfxrt.jar not delivered the same way?

Should this be the case? Is this behaviour intentional? Shall I file a bug
with JIRA?

Thanks

-Sven
