Sorry, I am not sure what that even means. We seem to be considering already the question of what happens when people customize custom-file. You are asking whether we should consider some question, but I can't tell what the question is. I should have said "saved" through Custom, not "customized" through Custom. If the user saves the value of `custom-file' through Custom and all we do is write a setq into .emacs, should we set `saved-value' to the new value and set all the other properties that Custom sets when the user saves a value for an option through Custom. That was my question. As I pointed out earlier, I believe that both answers to that question are unsatisfactory. Sincerely, Luc.
