IMHO, custom-file should have a prominent mention in the manual and the top level customize group. I found it by reading cus-edit.el. IMVHO, the default behavior of customize should be to save to a file different from user-init-file. When saving, customize would scan user-init-file looking for (load (expand-file-name "custom-file")). If it is not found, customize offers to modify user-init-file, with allowable responses of "yes", "no" and "no and do not ask again" (the last being saved as a customization). I believe this will make life easier for both novices and experts new to emacs >19.
