I feel the same Jon. Maybe it's a rubygems issue. What I like about Rails is that I can throw the whole framework without hassle into vendor/rails, and it'll automatically work. No switching between 'merb' and 'bin/merb' or 'merb-freezer'. That's why I just wait for a gem release, install it on our production server and try to upgrade all apps at once.
