   While we decided not to introduce any changes that would render it
   impossible to set variables without Custom, there is little point
   in documenting other ways in the manuals.

We currently _do_ document both ways more or less equally in the Emacs
manual.  The Custom way in `(emacs)Easy Customization' and the .emacs
way in `(emacs)Init File'.  I do not see any reason to change that.
Several types of customization (say keybindings) can not even be done
through Custom.

Sincerely,

Luc.
