I don't agree. Please look at GRUB legacy. It does not use the grub 
shell to save a defaule entry.

I don't think so, because grub-emu is useful only for developers. 
Ordinary users don't care.

No. This is the same as GRUB legacy. We want to use free space right 
after the MBR, but this region is quite small (normally, 31KB). I 
reduced the binary size very seriously to make core.img fit in this 
region, and I don't want to give it up.
