StonePath hasn't been updated because it was just a simple DSL on top of a 
state machine and assignment concepts; those ideas are in active use in dozens 
of back office applications I've developed over the years, but maintaining a 
thin layer on top of ActiveRecord wasn't worth the effort after ActiveRecord 
was extensively refactored. (Yes, it was dependent on ActiveRecord, which 
wasn't suitable for some, but was perfect for the original projects I extracted 
it from).

StonePath as a gem is legacy, but as a set of modeling concepts it's very much 
alive.  John has always denigrated state-based workflow concepts, but they are 
well-used... It is just a much different set of concepts.
