No. The real issue is who is writing it, and where.
Users can control the location of `custom-file'
and when it's read.
And we can provide a default location and time
of reading.

That would of course still be the case. Nothing
prevents you from doing anything in your init or
another file - including calling custom* functions.

It's absolutely important, and needs to remain
under user control.

Dunno what problems you envision - please be
specific.
The only real change is to prevent Customize
from writing to your init file. Nothing else.
