drv> You can try to swap the order of custom / init files

Ok, the thread seems to be petered out, but the conclusion and some action
probably has to be made.
I have seen real reasons to swap the order and at the same time there were
mostly no reasons to not to swap the order (and those that were are easily
worked around). Am I right?
Could we all hope that it'll be fixed by swapping the loading order in
21.4.next and 21.5? Stephen, please notify current Cc: list when you'll do
that :)
