It would be scrapped because it is an illegal requirement and is not compatible with community law.
Why is the EEA family permit illegal? They and Ireland are allowed, in the Directive, to require visas, and they have chosen to require it of everyone. They Uk has decided to call this a EEA family permit.
They also ask all sorts of questions on their forms. They should not ask them (and many are rude and intrusive), but you do not have to answer them. I do not think your application will be turned down.
Note that the Directve also includes the escape clause which says you can show up without a visa and if you can prove that you have the right of free movement (generally: two passports and a marriage certificate), they must let you in. This applies in all EU countries including the Uk and Ireland.
