I've not used RoR personally, but I was recently at a presentation here in 
Chicago that my LUG was hosting for the creators of both RoR and Django 
(Python).  It convinced me of the following facts:

1) Django is a good CMS, with some RAD features we may want to look into.

2) RoR is NOT A CMS, it's an app framework.  

3) The authors of both Django and RoR have *no clue* what the difference is 
between an app framework and CMS. :-)

4) RoR was too focused on "beautiful code" for me to spend any time on.  Step 
out of what the author thought was "beautiful code", and you are on your own.

So while I'm not against the idea of reorganizing Drupal files to make more 
sense / be more secure, pitching it as "because RoR does" is not necessarily 
a good way to market it. :-)

which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
