The purpose of the Today Pane is to offer a glimpse to the user of the upcoming events and tasks. This is really helpful when you're writing an email, setting up an appointment, or while organizing your future tasks while keeping an eye to the next or current week. Showing the Today Pane in the Preferences Tab, or Extensions Manager Tab doesn't make sense at all and it's visually distracting. It's totally out of context and doesn't offer any necessary information for the decision making process of updating settings or changing the theme/add-ons.
