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.
We have no plans to deprecate the writing of setq calls, or to stop
teaching people to customize Emacs that way. However, that's a slightly
different question from the one at hand.
The question at hand is, when giving beginners advice about how to
customize Emacs to do a specific thing, which method or methods should
we tell them to use? I think it is good to customize for this.
