I'm not saying you need to do it, infact noone needs to move apps at all, it's a preference of the user to do so. That and growing up with the old macos where you could arrange your machine how ever the hell you wanted to, gives the user the assumption that you can still. I still do myself actually as my /Applications folder is getting rather large, I like to categorize it according to type of application. Right/wrong? Not the point, the point is that a lot of users will attempt to move them, we need to realise this and build fink accordingly if it goes this route.
