Why is .eh_frame in the data segment?

I see that, from the very beginning of the current src repository, .eh_frame
has been placed after .data.  But no relocations are generated against it
(normally at least?) and it's marked SEC_READONLY, so it would be better
placed in the text segment.  Is there any reason not to move it in front of
.data?
