There WAS a discussion about it, mostly ignored, because of irrelevant  
politicking.

Alternatives offered:

+ fastcgi
+ fuzed
+ jruby
+ evented mongrel
+ thin


I've been playing around with evented mongrel for quite some time, being a
fan of eventmachine.  About to use it on the first real production site.
One little advantage that's not obvious is that with evented mongrel you
have access to eventmachine within a running rails app.  So you can do
things like async logging, messaging, etc..
