First of all kudos to all Rails contributors, this seems like a great release.
I agree the template feature is great, though at the moment not surprisingly a bit immature (template_runner.rb changed a lot in the last month, we'll see were it goes from here). I've been working on a template for a few days now (which will provide out of the box authentication with authlogic and sensible defaults for most things we usually use, like I18n, application wide settings, ubiquitous gems and plugins, SCM setup). I can see this feature saving us a lot of time on smallish projects.
