I say it's their game (not ours) so it's their rules. The only caveat I have is that there needs to be someone at the local field who can interpret and rule on ground rules should it be necessary (a LL board member say). I also ask to get the ground rules in writing so that I can keep them in my pocket for reference between innings. My own personal pacifier.
BTW - One more ground rule that I have seen in LL which I actually like is the "no swing after a fake bunt attempt" rule. I wish LL would adopt this one generally as some third baseman is going to lose his teeth charging what he thinks is a bunt one of these days.
Tim - I love the swing/Mom rule. Classic.
