Summary:

Picture an RSS reader, podcast client, or Twitter or ADN app. Those apps continually pull down more data -- and, as they do, they need to delete older data.

Often they need to delete a *ton* of older data. And that deletion may be pretty simple: delete everything older than 31 days, for instance.

Currently this is a pain: it's necessary to fetch each object and delete it. That takes more time and uses more memory than a SQL call.

Better would be the ability to delete based on a predicate -- something like this:

[managedObjectContext deleteObjectsMatchingPredicate:predicate entityName:entityName];
