Is there really a point to asking specific questions about technical
details right now? I mean, has any code even been written yet or is
the exact plan that clear. It's like some new movie has been announced
and before the script is even written people are asking who is going
to be the lead actor.

I cannot stress enough, as people worry, Merb is open source. It's not
going anywhere. DataMapper is its own project. It's still there. If
Rails 3 doesn't satisfy me, for instance, I'll use Merb and put a
community together to keep it going. This is why open source and free
software is GOOD.
