You'll need to ask the core team. Right now, they're hot on REST, and  
feel that this is the best way to implement inter-application  
communication in Rails. However, that doesn't help when talking to  
the legacy world.

Because of that, I've added the Web Services chapter back into the  
latest beta, released yesterday.

I don't think web services support is going away. It's possible that  
it might become a plugin in Rails 2.0.


Cheers
