Why is swap enabled so early in the boot process?

If you are using LFS on a raspberry pi you must do the following:

mv /etc/rc.d/rcS.d/S20swap /etc/rc.d/rcS.d/S60swap

otherwise the system comes up with no swap.

After making the change swap will come up upon boot.


Doing  'mount -a' after the system comes up will result in swap working

I don't see where it would affect other platforms as I have LFS running on x86_64, i386 and raspberry pi {1,2,3} ( soon to be pi4).
