When was it changed? Why?
It is much older than I thought. It already was the default in 21.3,
unlike what I said in the above quote. I _thought_ it was relatively
recent, because that change only got documented in the Elisp manual
two years ago.

* custom.el (custom-declare-variable): Use custom-initialize-reset
by default, rather than custom-initialize-set.
(custom-initialize-reset, custom-initialize-set): Doc fixes.
