Indeed, there's no reason in principle why Core Data could not be EOF.
Yet a core principle of Core Data is its abstraction of the model
away from the structure of the various persistent store formats. I
guess Apple could abandon that principle, but I fear that an awful
lot of babies would get faulted out along with the bath water.
It's not clear what principle would be abandoned here -- I don't see
any reason for fear at all.
It could offer just the same level of abstraction as today.
EOF allowed you to use a text-based data file if you wanted (typically
for testing purposes...).
