I found that discussion here:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/23372

and it concluded with your agreeing that there was no need for a defcustom in 
25.1, and that we could wait until after 25.1 was out and then see whether a lot 
of Emacs users were unhappy with the situation.

Again, I don't care whether it's a defcustom. You and Eli get to decide (not me, 
thank goodness :-).
