Ideally, I'd like to see the majority of Hobofields become an add-on
to ActiveModel, or maybe even part of it. Done properly, it would make
it much easier to use Hobo with alternative ORMs, and authors trying
to build *new* ORMs (for the NoSQL flavor of the week) would be able
to start with a richer type system.

Yep. Generators are one area that's been totally rewritten in Rails 3.
