If there is a problem with stuff being appended to an autoloads file

Well, I'm not too happy with the recent trend of substituting the
auto-autoloads.el file (which should contain only entry points) for
the custom-load.el file (which should contain the variable
declarations and only those) and the traditional $PACKAGE-hooks.el
file. It has too often been abused in ways that create dependency
problems.
Is there a reason why this needs to be done? I'm not unalterably
opposed to it, but most of the trouble seems to be caused by lazy
programming enabled by autoload abuse.
