Another dissenting voice... I will not/cannot avoid the use of the  
params object in some of my applications. So, please, no deprecation.  
I don't care if Merb supported controller parameters or not, in  
principle. I doubt I'd ever use them, I prefer to look at the params  
object as an input data thing that needs to be inspected rather  
carefully. On the other hand, Merb is still mostly light and easy to  
understand, and starts very quickly -- it would be sad to see this end.

Cheers,
Bob
