A thought, based on the "we gave up on our Rails 3 port" postings:

   - Rails3 derived some benefits from having merb team work with them, but
   ultimately Rails 3 does not appeal to merb developers.

So to me, the integration of merb into Rails 3 was ultimately failure, since
the developer community was not well-served by it. This gives us three
choices:

   1. Make Rails 3 more appealing for merb developers. I see no path for
   this.
   2. Get merb back up and running. I don't see enough community support for
   this, since the rug was pulled out from under it. People incorrectly see
   Rails 3 as having "solved" the problems merb originally solved.
   3. Take advantage of Sinatra's momentum. Put our energy into a
   lightweight framework on top of it. Padrino
<http://www.padrinorb.com/> comes
   to mind.
