The point is that are various simple rules and guidelines that apply to _every_ customization file, if we allow them to go in either ~ or in ~/.emacs.d, and it's silly to duplicate the code for each customization file. Centralizing the policy with a function also allows later changes or enhancement to be done more easily and cleanly. If you don't want to add it though, I will do it. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
