This was my first thought also.  Actually, probably not that much 
changes in terms of the actual code compared with now, but it might mean 
that support for inheritable paths for views etc finally requires far 
less code and tweaking with rails internals. 

I haven't looked at AS internals for a few months now, but right now the 
following seems to be a help

- Rails tracks modified models and fields, so we can stop tracking that 
internally
- Rails 2.3 is supposed to support directly updating related models.  
However, I can see a number of issues arising to do with the allowed 
attributes.  Haven't looked too closely
- Engines support would appear to simplify the view paths overrides

Good luck
