Lots of interesting suggestions and observations.

In particular, this one:

  rather than the 'custom section' or custom file
  would be to have custom write individual files
  into a ~/.emacs.d/custom directory?

(I'd prefer that the dir location be the value of
a user option, with ~/.emacs.d/custom as default value.  But I think the idea 
is a good one.)

One thing I wouldn't mind having is some kind of timestamp on each 
`custom-set-variables' and `custom-set-faces' entry.  Or something equivalent.  
Or optional sorting by recency of modification.  Or maybe such info in a 
separate log file.

Just a spur-of-the-moment thought, not carefully considered.  It comes from 
seeing an entry and wondering when the hell I added it (or why). ;-)
