I think it's just as likely that people would want to use a data modelling alternative to ActiveRecord as it is that they'd want to use a templating language of their choice, so you're already kinda past the point of keeping out dependencies. Speaking as someone who tried Camping after very little other web development & programming experience (and learned a lot because of it), the lack of Markaby in the default gem install seriously held me back several times.
