God, no! Why make things a pain in the ass for those who need to go
inside a package? There are many reasons to do this that the author
may not have thought of ahead of time. For example, take a launcher
like DragThing. Maybe the user wants to go inside the app bundle and
change the Info.plist so it is an LSUIElement and doesn't take up a
space in the Dock. There are many legitimate reasons to go inside the
app bundle, and making this difficult just creates an annoyance for
users.
I go in iChat and add a Opt-P shortcut for hiding the participants
window to the main menu NIB. (Although I suppose I could use the
Keyboard Shortcuts control panel for that; haven't tried it.)
