I think you are talking about two different features. One is what _I_
call a ``novice'' customization level: a command that lets the user
customize a relatively short list of the most popular options. If the
decision is that we don't want to put them on menu-bar's Options, then
some variety of Customize is the logical alternative.
The other feature is some way of getting a summary of the optional
features and being able to browse them. That sounds a lot like top-level
Customize groups, perhaps flattened to some extent, doesn't it? The one
option per package goal seems an impossible one--just pick up any Emacs
package and try to decide what would be that single option you will
show. I'm unable to do that, FWIW: too many are useful.
