If provided as a preference then it is not clutter, at least to that user. 

If you don't provide this as a baked-in MediaWiki preference in the edit tab of
preferences, then probably all Wikipedias in all languages, and all MediaWiki
installations outside the Wikimedia world will provide buggy gadgets to provide
the 2 static links. 

For example; the buggy CSS hack described here:
*[[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 114]] - see section "Removing the
animation from 'edit source' section links on Visual Editor".

Is it not a thousand times better for it to be a fully-maintained, baked-in
preference that will not constantly become buggy after various MediaWiki
updates?
