That's yet another discussion.
I usually tell people to place their custom-set-variables at the top
of their init file. Otherwise, if you install a new theme and try to
`(load-theme 'theme-name)' in your init file, you'll get problems
because `custom-safe-themes' hasn't been set yet.
At the same time, it can't just be automatically loaded before the
init-file, because a lot of people might setq the `custom-file'
variable to something else.

The only problem I see is the added complexity, which I'm mostly ok
with. But I'd hopefully like to hear from more than 3 people on this.
