I'm +1 with this, not because it may be faster to implement but
because I'm afraid admin templates would be, sooner or later,
deprecated.

+1

-0.5. I don't know if we have a convention about this but putting all
the 'system' pages in XWiki :
  - it makes the adminstration work easier (there's one space that
really needs to be protected)
  - ftm we can't set a space to be hidden from the wiki tree or spaces lists
  + almost all our applications have their own dedicated space (Stats,
Panels, etc)
