Actually, it is relevant. We used to use the PreferencePanes
framework for things having nothing to do with System Preferences,
but had to rewrite a fair bit of code & create some compatibility
issues when we wanted to release an application that used GC. (And I
know what you're thinking, but we were not using private APIs.) It
would have saved us a lot of effort and headaches if it only
supported GC in the first place, just like most every other system
framework in Leopard.
Ahh.. NSPreferencePane. I forgot about that and its reusability in
the first place.
Yes; that is a bug -- any framework that can be embedded in a Cocoa
application as supported API should be GC enabled.
Please file a bug.
