There is no harm in using the customization buffer in any way except to set the variable. Not quite. Saving and especially various forms of resetting give more problems that the (actually relatively problem free) setting for the current session. That doesn't make my words wrong. Saving is something you can only do if you set the variable. I now believe that a better string would be: NO CUSTOMIZATION DATA; not intended to be customized. That is a good idea.
