There was some objection from users who wanted custom-file loaded
before user-init-file, but I don't remember anything concrete. I
think the problem was mainly esthetic: custom-file is managed behind
the scenes by XEmacs, and it should stay there unless there's strong
reason.
Emacs's esthetics are different though, and that approach certainly
works.
