It's up to you of course, but IMO since this only affects one
variable, just fixing it "by hand" with a manual autoload of
custom-initialize-delay (together with a doc-fix for said function)
seems fine for 23.2. Sendmail.el already manually autoloads the
saved-value property for some years for similar reasons.
