We don't know enough about them, and from the few we know more about,
they're a pretty diverse bunch anyway.  Even most of the rocky ones
probably have dense atmospheres, less dense ones may be mostly
ocean/steam/ice worlds, and some appear to be smaller gas planets with
an atmosphere that would crush any habitat.
