Suffering a bit from Emacs Dev myopia? ;-)

I do need it.  I use my `custom-file' for multiple Emacs versions.

The fact that `global-font-lock-mode' is now enabled by default is
irrelevant when you use an Emacs release in which it is not enabled
by default.

(Besides which, a user can still create such a custom setting today,
using the latest and greatest Emacs version.)
