I can't find where this is discussed, if you mean the thread at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2005-06/msg01062.html > but if Richard changed his mind anyway, this is irrelevant.

You can also argue that loading a Custom Theme should overrides setq's since Customize also overrides them. Note that load-theme can be called interactively; if a user does M-x load-theme, I don't think he would expect this to fail to set some variables just because he had something in his .emacs. But I have no strong feelings on this, so I'll let Richard make the decision.
