House rules. Well, these could be acceptable (as these are only syllabus limitations and not arbitrary style-police), but enforcement may be difficult. Especially, when the milonga statistics do not support it (50 people on a 15 by 25 meter/yard dancefloor with rules for small moves?).
However, in a modern world I do not believe that a milonga organizer will consciously limit participation, unless the problem already is overcrowding and the prices already went out on the roof...
