I put the ZScheduler object in the root folder for acquisition reasons, so
that it could be found by all event objects. Technically, there is no reason
to move this to a different, known path of course.

But I do think that placing this information in /Control_Panel/Products/* is a
bad idea, for the same reason that placing software data in /usr/bin is bad.
You want to keep source/binaries and data separated. Maybe you can add a
subobject to Control_Panel itself: /Control_Panel/ZScheduler.
