Yes, look at the list archives, this has been done to death a few
times.  

Basically, the systray is for NOTIFICATIONS, not as a place to put
things when they aren't being used.  Evo puts notifications in systray
when it needs to.

It's not a "can't implement", it's "won't implement" - and rightly so.
