I'm beginning to wonder if "merge" is the right word for what is happening with Rails? I've seen Yehuda in a talk a few months ago say that while the "Merb/Rails Merge" started out as exactly that, a merge, it's now looking more like just "the next version of Rails." To me, that says Rails is adopting some "Merbisms" in to its next version, but Rails will maintain its own identity separate from Merb and we really should think of the two as separate projects each with their own pros and cons.
