Felipe, We'd talked about merging some changes into the current Watir 1.x path. As Ethan mentioned, there are quite a lot of changes and not enough people currently to merge them back in. Hopefully with some time and ideally with pull requests as they can be broken out, I'd love to see some of these things merged. It requires a lot of work and discussion on the Watir development list, and most of us haven't had the time. I'm definitely in flux at this point since I've just left the Gap after 8 years.
That being said, if you have some time to contribute and this is certainly one way to do it. We're always looking for pull requests for improvements.
