I think bug #18725 (Say "no" to "erase customizations?". .emacs gets
written.)  is a candidate for a major problem.  Basically, in certain
customize-... functions, .emacs gets saved despite the user explicitly
saying "no".  This is really bad, and I think it should be fixed for
emacs-24.  

I have proposed a patch to the code under the bug report.  May I apply
it?
