But you said yourself that you did not see it in the first versions of 
Emacs 19, either.  So things may be better by Emacs 20.19 -- or
however long it takes.

This is, of course, not true.  Look at Erik Naggum's exhaustive
article on the subject.  Or, the NEWS file, for that matter.

Neither do I.  But I do see the reason why Gnus might want to unbundle 
custom.  The Emacs 20 users will have it bundled, and the Emacs 19
users will get it elsewhere.
