No.  What if you put ata.mod in core.img?  You would expect your disks
will be detected and that grub.cfg will be loaded immediately.  The
user doesn't want to run a command to enable ata.mod and afterwards
load the grub.cfg manually.

A better solution, IMO, would be changing grub-mkrescue so it doesn't
load all modules.
