We don't have a limitation on number of classes. Student should select from
the list of the classes with STUDY only permission.

I don't think the default class is special. The way I see it, it just
guarantees that we have at least one class for students to sign up.

Dunno. We can add any attributes to the class (not implemented yet).

I'm not the right person to ask that question.
