Cisco do state that core/distribution/access layers do not have to be on
different hardware. It is common to find core and distribution on the same
Cat for small/medium networks.
Most of the design scenarios are for large networks.

With one caveat: Consider the source!
Cisco makes money if people buy their switches and routers. So the design
guides tend short change some of their equipment. I know of few sites that
took the core/access/distribution model to an extreme! :)
