I disagree. You have to look at it from an API development point of view. This creates a huge window for undefined behavior and dependencies on implementation specifics, between calling DefineDynamicAssembly and SetMscorlib. It also makes it impossible for DefineDynamicAssembly (or the AssemblyBuilder constructor) to do anything that requires mscorlib (and who knows, maybe some future change to reflection will require this).
