I think the simple answer is, Rails has the features and Merb has better performance. Merge them and you get the best of both.
A monoculture? Hell no, there's plenty of frameworks that are trying to spring out of the ether, this will just make it more competitive as they'll actually have to have some basis for their existence. Good example: Sinatra. It has genuine appeal and stands out with the lightweight abilities it offers. Here here!
