thanks..I did use to have a solid flash behavior a la rails...the code
was pretty simple and modeled after merb_has_flash , I think.

Today, after several days of figuring out the new merb-auth behavior,
I was able to toss hundreds of lines of my own hand rolled session and
auth behavior.  My merb production app goes back to merb from last
April so changing to the new auth code was a big job.  I haven't
finished testing, but so far so good and I'm happy to have more core
behavior handled by the framework.  Part of the process of code
slashing involved tossing my flash behavior as well as it was
integrated with the session behavior that I dumped.

I was just surprised at the new URL encoded message behavior, thats
all.  If thats how you guys think its best, thats how it is ;)  I just
don't agree.  I understand why you may want to encode it in the URL,
but it does make for ugly URLs.

One thing that surprises me about merb is this: merb is developed, or
appears to be developed in a distributed fashion.  If there are team
meetings where the core devs get together and decide on key issues
like "lets put the message in the URL", this process is opaque to
people like myself.  Given the free-for-all appearance of merb dev, I
am often surprised at how core developers sometimes give the
impression of "thats how _we_ intended it to be".   Who is this
_we_.?   I'm not mad or venting here.  Just expressing a point of view
from 8 or 12 time zones away.

thanks, Jon
