Re:Passenger (mod_rails) released

The answer to this is probably obvious, but, can someone sell my on why I want mod_rails? What's wrong with the tag-team app server / web server architecture?

You're probably not the target audience. It's meant to ease deployment so it's more like PHP in a LAMP setup.
In the author's words (http://www.modrails.com), here are the main features:
- Deployment is only a matter of uploading application files. No Ruby on Rails-specific server configuration required!
- Built on the industry standard Apache web server.
- Allows Ruby on Rails applications to use about 33% less memory, when used in combination with Ruby Enterprise Edition (optional).
- Zero maintenance. No port management, server process monitoring or stale file cleanup required. Errors are automatically recovered whenever possible.
- Designed for performance, stability and security. Passenger should never crash Apache even in case of crashing Rails applications.
- Well-documented, for both system administrators and developers!
