Probably if it is pointed out clearly.

Stefan had a suggestion that custom-file should be loaded after .emacs if it
had not been loaded at that point. However I regret I mentioned that again
now. The problems we unfortunately see with Customize are too complex at the
moment. Too many details will perhaps make it harder to find any solution
and move to that now. (Which I think will be desireable even if it may be a
suboptimization.)
