Why not. However I haven’t thought enough about it but right now the downside I see is the loss of accountability/tracability. It’s interesting to know what user has installed a given page. Using superadmin would loose this info. BTW and related to this, I’d prefer to have a System user instead of using superadmin. The rationale is that super admin is user and you can log with it whereas System wouldn’t be a user that you can log with. It would represent a change made by the system. This could be another discussion but I thought I would mention it here to be complete.
