Rails uses ActiveRecord for its ORM by default, which doesn't like to
play too well with legacy schemas, natural primary keys, and prefers to
ignore any database features that weren't present in MySQL 3.x. You
probably don't need 2PC unless running on a write-mostly DB cluster, and
there's Rails plugins or alternate ORM backends that can iron out the
other quirks available. (Dr. Nic's Magic Models comes to mind, or his
plugin for composite PKs.) But the Rails list is a better place to ask.

Odles, it's the Shiny New Kid On The Block. (For metaphorical values of
"new".) And I believe it's Reasonably Stable (tm).
