I thought we were strongly discouraging that now. At the moment it is considered a place for early initialization, it's the only readily accessible place one can get it at run-time. I've been sitting back and staring at the `before-init-hook' for a few weeks now without thinking of anything useful. Having early initialization accessible at run-time is highly useful if one knows what to do with it. I'm reluctant to make further changes until I know what a portable not-dumped XEmacs looks like.
