If you want to create a Database driven application, you need a Database, Core 
Data is for flat files.
That is possibly nice for local data like spotlight or mail indexes, but not if 
you are talking about multiple 
users working with the same data.

There is some room to create a lighter EOF, but leaving out the database is 
pointless for a database app.

Anyway this would be a huge project.
