It would make custom.el more complicated for the benefit of the users (who can stop worrying about the correct initialization order), which I think is a good tradeoff. 

As I keep saying, this won't solve the issue where the user can't `require' packages in his init file until package initialize has been manually called. That's what prompted this whole thread and it's explained in the first email.
