I actually realized yesterday that I use this feature for my
minibuffer-frame by setting its font and background differently
(which in turns sets the frame-local value of the `default' face).

  (setq minibuffer-frame-alist
        '((minibuffer . only)
          (top . -1) (left . 0) (user-position . t)
          (height . 1) (width . 256) (user-size . t)
          (vertical-scroll-bars . nil)
          (menu-bar-lines . 0)
          (tool-bar-lines . 0)
          (font . "-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-*-100-100-100-*-*-*-*")
          (background-color . "grey75")
          (name . "emacs-minibuffer")))

I wouldn't care too much about losing this feature (although I like
the grey background for it).
