I don’t think there is a need, but wouldn’t the exposure be nice?
Ultimately having some way of gathering stats about how many sites are
deployed on Rails would be nice. Also, I’d like some way to promote
Rails even when a front end badge isn’t an option.

I don’t think Rails would technically be the generator there…
I thought the generator meta-tag was reserved for client-level
installations like Wordpress, Dupral, Joomla, etc. rather than server
driven technologies like Rails and PHP. But perhaps it’s for both?
Or maybe it doesn’t matter? 🙂
