Comment(by sivel):

 I believe one of the reasons behind adding a default was to reduce server
 load for requests to favicon.ico.  So that a request wouldn't have to go
 through PHP to deliver the favicon.

 If we wanted to add a new Apache mod_rewrite rule that will go into
 .htaccess to redirect requests to the one in wp-includes/images when a
 favicon.ico doesn't exist I would be happy with that.
