It is not necessarily a rewrite. It may be a fork of the existing product. All the page really hints at is some dramatic changes to the interface.

I agree that UI is really going to be the story. Customers don't need to care about what's underneath.

DHH's Twitter suggests otherwise. He talks about the joy of starting from scratch developing with rails/master. Can't link to it because I'm on a phone.
