2) You can already do both of those using either Merb or Rails. In fact both Merb and Rails support Rack, so it doesn't matter if you want to deploy with mongrel, or thin, or ebb, or passenger, or webrick if you're really a masochist. 3) The nice thing about optional components is that you have options. 4) Datamapper is a separate project and you'd have to ask them whether they'd want to patch that. I don't think it really matters one way or the other. 5) Merb-auth isn't part of the core. It is part of the default merb stack, but it's not part of merb-core (again yay componentization). 6) I'm workin' on one for merb right now... :P http://wiki.merbivore.com/exp/start#helping_out If anyone is interested in helping out there are instructions at the top.
