But since I am not an expert of CoreData, I can't tell what is missing or incomplete, but it did look as much more than 50% is there.

Once someone implements a subclass of GSPersistentStore then we could build upon that. Then, we should also look at how closely GSPersistentStore comes to NSPersistentStore as the abstract class. 

Next step would be providing the NSAtomicStore abstract class on top of that, so we can build XML-based persistent store, and the binary persistent store. 

Finally, we'll want to provide NSIncrementalStore as an abstract class, and build SQL-based stores on top of that.

NSAtomicStore is a 10.5-era API, and NSIncrementalStore is a 10.7-era API.

Without having any sort of a persistent store, it's hard to estimate how functional is anything that deals with persistent stores... and I never dug deep into GSCoreData. It's perpetually on my 'to-do in nearby future' list...
