True.. I personally prefer the copy method, but both work.

This way I can edit the user_prefs file when I add new settings, run
spamassassin --lint, do some tests, and then copy up to
spam.assassin.prefs.conf when I have it nailed down and working. This way I
don't risk testing new things on a config file which is also a live
production file.

(If you're symlinking the same effect can be achieved using an unprivileged
users' account)
