thread. package.el and custom.el are now both part of Emacs, so there's no
break in abstraction if they know about each other. It would make custom.el
more complicated for the benefit of the users (who can stop worrying about
the correct initialization order), which I think is a good tradeoff.

As I keep saying, this won't solve the issue where the user can't `require'
packages in his init file until package initialize has been manually
called. That's what prompted this whole thread and it's explained in the
first email.
