You got it exactly right.

The "Changed outside customize" has been a great help for me to catch
those hooks, setq's and poorly written major modes, and I think Emacs
has improved because of it, by fixing the modes and rethinking the
hooks.

I can see there is a lot of followup mails.  I don't have time for
either discussion or design, so I'll skip them unread.  

If someone have specific questions, mail them to me directly.
