If you didn't want to use them, you wouldn't freeze them would you? Calling frozen-merb instead would mean that I'd have to change my god config on a per app basis. I've got god setup to start any apps it happens to find in /var/apps, and having to tell it how to start each one would make me feel as though the configuration was happening in the wrong place. Good work with merb-freezer though, very handy. Though I’m not a fan of hidden magic, I have to agree that automatically using frozen gems would be a good idea.
