I really appreciate the work you're doing on corebase.  I really haven't
had any time to do anything recently, but I have been keeping up with your
changes.

Personally, what I would like to see is an agglomeration of all the related
projects.  For example, why can't the corenetwork library be brought into
corebase?  No reason why these 2 libraries are split.

To answer your question, I think that sounds fine, but why not just
override NSRunLoop's designated initializer and just return NSCFRunLoop (or
whatever you want to call it)?  Wouldn't that be easier than checking for a
symbol?  Or am I missing something?
