Re: [sumner@graphics.lcs.mit.edu] Faces wrong when opening new frame (PR#1465)

Yoshiki> It seems you are refusing to understand what I said. No, not at all. I presented an example in which the procedure as written is _designed_ to destroy useful data. In this case it happens not to be the user's customization; it happens that the user would like to experiment with somebody else's configuration without restarting Emacs. It's still useful data, and I still see no excuse for destroying it. If it were garbage, it would get collected. But it's not. So? pdump_load is called before _anything_ is loaded and it still managed to destroy user data (namely, command line option settings). That was a design bug, too. Yoshiki> If you were referring to face-spec-reset function I Yoshiki> wholeheartedly agree. But I don't understand why you Yoshiki> ignore context and add random remarks. Because I'm not capable of fixing this particular bug; only suggesting a work-around that you say is irrelevant. What I am primarily concerned about is the future bugs that Custom is 99.44% sure to introduce due to its habit of destroying data without requesting confirmation from the user. Custom maintainers have been saying for years "we'll fix this, we'll fix that." I'm suggesting that maybe Custom should stop breaking things in the first place.
