In general I agree, however in the specific case of a preference pane
I think an installer is warranted.
Often you can avoid both requiring an installer and scattering code
throughout the system by putting just an alias file or symlink into
the desired system location when your application launches.
Yes-- if, as you suggest, you're dealing with an application. However
this doesn't work in the case being considered here, i.e. a preference
pane. It needs to be in the correct location before it can be
launched. Which negates the whole point of creating a symlink.
