know what the long term plan for Core Data is? It looks to me like
dropping RDBMS support was intentional, since Apple admits that EOF/
WO and Core Data share the same heritage.
There is an FAQ entry that addresses this in part:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/
CoreData/Articles/cdFAQ.html>
From that I think you can largely draw your own conclusions. You
are still encouraged, however, to file enhancement requests or speak
to folks in Developer Relations if there are particular directions in
which you would like to see the technology evolve...
Specifically regarding "an open architecture that would allow us to
create our own persistence adaptors (without diving into headers and
reverse engineering stuff)"; it is *possible* with the current
implementation to use the object graph management layer independently
of the persistence layer. It's not as easy as it might be, but then
writing a custom EOAdaptor was not something people tended to do for
a lark on a Friday afternoon either...
