Hi, Preferences normally refer to something a user specifies, specific to their user account. Configuration is something a deployer specifies for others via a GUI or a file.
While I agree the line is blurred as the deployer of Sling/AEM could be considered to be a user, they are not a user in the sense of the AEM application. Preferences might cause lots of confusion.
