Not anymore.

Care to elaborate? (Yes, I've seen automount disk images, but those only remove one step -- which still leaves several extra ones.)

New DMGs (if made correctly) will download, mount, move files, and delete themselves automatically. This is two *fewer* steps than a SIT file making a total count of 0.

You have to mess around in Terminal to do that. They're called Internet-enabled disk images, and we had a big discussion about them, remember? When Safari came out on one and people wondered what the hell was going on when the DMG mounted, installed, unmounted and deleted itself? Check Apple's developer site for details.
