In those buffers they are OK, as I already pointed out earlier. Even if this is a typical way for most people to use Customize, I would guess that customize-group and customize-browse are used by many beginning or advanced users. Several people stated that they regularly use customize-apropos, which yields a multi-option buffer. Custom is very useful to browse options, not just to set them. of course this doesn't mean that multi-option group customization buffers should be left in a non-working state for years. They were not _deliberately_ left in a non-working state for years. Nobody knew that they were in a non-working state, because nobody apparently ever clicked on them for years. Sincerely, Luc.
