I am for it as long as I am still able to use ``as`` to go from an AnyObject to an NSObject Subclass. 

func executeFetchRequest(request: NSFetchRequest <x-quickhelp-usr:c:objc(cs)NSFetchRequest>) throws -> [AnyObject <x-quickhelp-usr:s:Ps9AnyObject>]….
class MyRecipeMO: NSManagedObject {….

….
 let existing = try context.executeFetchRequest(fetch) as? [MyRecipeMO]
….

If am not able to do the above then this change would make it much harder to work with Core Data and JSON API

seems like casting in java

read the email thread.
