Please confirm or infirm this: They way I do use package is the right one?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'package)

;; archives from which to fetch
(setq package-archives
      (append '(("org"       . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/";)
                ("melpa"     . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/";)
                ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/";))
              package-archives))

(package-initialize)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I had read, somewhere, that `package-initialize' wasn't necessary as it now
*would* be done automatically (by Emacs) after the init is eval'ed.

Is this true?

Anyway, I've got the feeling it's too late: some packages must be loaded
before my customizations; for example, if I want to add something to a list
(which wouldn't exist yet, except if I protect all my code chunks in
eval-after-load constructions).

Answer with the next Windows binary...
