In general it's a good idea to put all custom settings in a separate
file -- rather than the init file. As power user I've done this ever
since I started using custom, since I wanted to be able to continue
editing my init file by hand -- but it's a usage style that could
perhaps be made the default -- since most casual users never discover
this. Also, the persisted custom settings get flaky/fragile over time
-- I've never filed a bug because it's hard to track down -- but over
time you see things get truncated -- eg vars whose saved value is a long
list. I presently keep my .customize-emacs file under git (I also
encrypt it so passwds etc are not visible -- but that's a different
story
