I wouldn't be surprised to see non-DRM ePub added at some point, but I don't think it adds much to what the Kindle has to offer.
What is out there available in DRM'd ePub that is not available for Kindle anyway?

Libraries is the big issue for a lot of people, I think, regarding DRM ePub.
Though for me, I would be happy with non-DRM epub support, it's a matter of formatting. In my experiences with buying from Baen and Fictionwise, the Mobi/PRC files were utter junk.
So I had to get the epub and convert.
Same with the free classics on Amazon. The ones I got were formatted so poorly (no TOC, no chapters) they are a hassle to read. Even here, some of the older files in the mobi/prc section aren't formatted very well.
Sure, I can convert. But having actual epub support would remove a layer (and a fair amount of time) from the process.
And epubs also seem to be about 60% the size of Mobi files. That's another thing
