Emacs 25’s package system liberally modified my ~/.emacs, adding a call do `package-initialize’.
What happens when I call emacs from the command line (as opposed to one installed elsewhere, like a GUI Emacs in /Applications)?

… because my command-line emacs is an older one, such as the one that comes with the latest version of OS X (Emacs 22).
This is not a good state of affairs...

Obviously you could work around it by adding
(unless (fboundp 'package-initialize) (defalias 'package-initialize
'ignore))
to your init file...

...but I couldn't agree more with you about packages messing with the init
file. I *hate* custom for several reasons, and that's one of them.

Or just comment out that `(package-initialize)' line, as explained in
the comments inserted above it.
If you do that, you're left with the usual behaviour from Emacs 24.

If only it could be ripped out of emacs...
Anyway, isn't setting `custom-file' enough to prevent custom from
messing with ~/.emacs?
(I realize this bug report is not about custom, sorry).

Yes, and that works.
The more surprising is it when now `package’ likes to mess with it.
