If my questions seem irrelevant, please ignore. Moving stuff out of the `custom-file' or init file to a theme sounds risky. I understand that you stated that it's an option. Still... Do we take care to restore the original files if something goes wrong during the move? After everything is moved successfully, do we give the user a command to get back the original `custom-file' or init file? Is there a command that migrates (or copies) all settings of a given custom theme to the user's `custom-file' or init file?
