As I told you on twitter, here is the official word from David himself: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2008/12/23/merb-gets-merged-into-rails-3
"Rigorous API: Too many plugins break when Rails is updated because it’s not clear where they can safely hook into the internals and when they’re monkeypatching and should expect things to break. The Merb guys committed to a public API with tests to ensure that it wouldn’t break. They’ll bring over that line of thinking and give Rails 3 a tested and documented API for extensions that won’t break willy-nilly with upgrades." The rest of the details is being worked on. - Matt On May 20, 9:23 am, RSL <[email protected]> wrote: > Merb was always putting out this line about how Rails had no public > API.
