We're not trying to keep secrets. Basically, the developers of GEMS and the developers of M5 are experimenting with replacing the M5 cache hierarchy with the ruby cache hierarchy with the goal of having the best of both simulators. If we succeed, we will have a better simulator and we can have a larger team sharing the burden of simulator design. It is still very preliminary work, and no where near ready for consumption. I'm sure that as we become more successful, we'll announce more about it.
