I have this in init.el:
(setq custom-file (expand-file-name "custom.el"
user-emacs-directory))
(load custom-file)
I don't understand what's so bad about the third line that warrants
loading the custom file by default.
That method of loading the custom file is even documented in the doc
string of `custom-file', so everyone who changes his custom file should
know about it.
Besides, since the original discussion was about a setup wizard, we
could arrange for that setup wizard to set up the custom file for the
user if he so desires.

Sometimes it is important for the user to manually control when the
custom file is loaded. Having such a message would lead to an
unreasonable amount of false positives, just like highlighting all
bidirectional reordering characters in source code would.
Thanks.
