Let's say you use the System 7 Finder to move a bunch of fonts, DAs, FKEYs,
etc. into your System.  Then you start getting bombs, and you decide to
reinstall your system.  Of course you begin by trashing the System
file...but that means you'll have to install all fonts, etc., again.
That's why it's better not to install resources directly into the System.
