I think a specific related object would be cleaner to not make user
class too big, plus it make easier to see dashboard as an extension.
Important thing is that it's in the user profile object but there is
no reason to make it part of user class.
The same way we stopped constantly adding things to XWikiPreferences
class for not deep core things we should do the same for user class
IMO, plus it makes easier to upgrade.
