There are sometimes reasons not to do that.
Heavy swapping may be caused by attempts to cache
massive io on some fs. You better not have swap
on that heavily accessed spindle - because then
everything ends up waiting on that io.
Keeping swap somewhere else means other programs
just wait a little for swap - undisturbed by the massive
io also going on.
