Sure. I wasn't arguing against using `load', just pointing out that it
might not be as important as it seems. After all, AFAICT changing
custom-file via Custom itself currently just plain doesn't work and it's not
clear at all how to make it work.
This said, it's indeed probably better to tell people to `load' the custom
file rather than to `setq' the `custom-file' variable (among other things
because it involves much less magic, and works with Emacs-21.3).
