The Nether is not part of the gameplay environment provided hy the mod. I see no reason to put effort in this. Of course, it will be convenient to those who feel not objected by making the Nether part of the mods gameplay, but I simply don't think such should be supported, rather not enabled at all.

Same holds for the Overworld, one could say, so why Elven and Morgul Portals? These had initially been an indispensible addition just to enable players to enter Middle-earth. Sadly, they're still required for many servers so they cannot be disbanded. Disbanding those portals would be a serious risk for the mod anyway, a risk of draining the pool of potential users.
