Nah, not quite.  PS files are directly viewable, directly printable, and
a near-raw format, whereas .o files are just not executable as-is.
There are people in my lab that still tweak their resulting .ps files to
add more room here and there.

They are not intermediate files, they are one kind of final files.

I do agree, but we don't use any feature of the PDF format in the
refcards, so the point is not here ;-)
