Facilitators calling sessions.

Hi all,
I seem to have the belief that facilitators shouldn't call sessions.
What's the OS etiquette around this, and why?
I can only think that it's either; to have a separation of the facilitator's 'leader' role, from the attendees' non-hierarchical status (in the spirit of OS), or by not taking up potentially valuable breakout sessions, it's to leave more opportunities for attendees to be able to have sessions.
I'd love to hear your views on this.
Thank you!
Isaac
