Definitely. Your initial take is correct.

Definitely. This is a case where requiring those
users who insist on keeping things as they are
(living dangerously) would suffer a v e r y mild
one-time inconvenience. They'd just make a simple
addition to their init files: (setq custom-file
MY-INIT-FILE).
I often defend _not_ changing default behavior,
especially when it's longstanding (and often to
no avail, alas).
This is a rare case where the advantages of a
simple change vastly outweigh the disadvantages.
