Merb will continue to be maintained and improved: "To be perfectly clear: we are not abandoning the Merb project. There are many production applications running on Merb that are relying on both timely bug fixes and a clear path to the future. If you’re using Merb today, continue using Merb. If you’re considering using Merb for a project because it works better for your needs, use Merb. You will not be left in the cold and we’re going to do everything to make sure that your applications don’t get stuck in the past." What this really means is that Merb will do what they should as an open-source project: Integrating with another. But for Merb's changes to Rails to be effective, they will have to continually improve Merb in isolation. Merb's going nowhere.
