Well, a while ago I decided to stop using Customize because of
`package-selected-packages` being written to my `custome-file`. I couldn't find
a hassle-free way to sync my Emacs config between machines. I kept having to
resolve merge conflicts caused by `package-selected-packages`, so I took
`custom-file` out of version control. Now it's only used for
`package-selected-packages` and everything else is in init.el and files loaded
from there.
