Please.  You guys have hijacked this bug report to speculate
about using Customize to handle enabling/disabling commands

Please start a new bug thread - or better yet an emacs-devel
thread - for that.

THIS bug report is about the fact that if a user has a
`custom-file' the enabling gets recorded to ~/.emacs instead.
That's just plain wrong.

Surely this bug can be fixed independently of your thoughts
about a new design/feature for letting Customize handle
enabling more generally.  You can always revisit this case
after you've implemented whatever you dream up for that,
but this bug is not that enhancement.
