Customization may not need a `tour` like this. Usually customization
actions occur at the very beginning. So early that `setup wizard` has no
chance to guide the beginners anything. Once the beginners gained enough
abilities to accept the guidence and start the "tour" for customizable
options, they already knew what the customization is, even how it works,
so do not need the `tour`:) Maybe I am wrong. Too long time, I can't
remember exactly when and how I got the key point of customizations as
an emacs beginner.
