There are no restrictions.  It's preference.  There are several hundred
megs worth of modules for sword.  They could potentially take up their 
own CD.  Debian developers (not sure about other distros) are not going to
be too happy (nor will the mirrors) about increasing the size of the 
distribution by a 1/3 with non-technical packages that are specific to
sword.
