To shift discussion from question of preferences... Is it good policy to expect/allow that content of "Application Support" folder can disappear at any time?

<snipping pointless argument>

Yes, I think it is. It's useful in troubleshooting to remove the app data from App Support. Also, fresh installs/new users on a system will not have the data in the App Support folder.

Some users restore just their preferences folders without restoring their app support folders, that's another consideration you should make.
