I do not see it as a layering issue. It is more a plea to move away
from simple imperative customization and towards declarative expression
of policy / intent.
I imagine such choices being made by one-of selections in which the
default value would be "classic Emacs". Thus one knob might be
frame-usage:
- classic Emacs
- OneOnOne
Further, our customize framework would have to be enriched to make
default values potentially a function of a policy query. (A simplifying
restriction would be require that all policy choices be evaluated before
loading any customizations.)
