Based on the change log for the 7.x-2.x branch at http://drupalcode.org/project/boxes.git/blob/refs/heads/7.x-2.x:/CHANGEL...

Integration of Bean and Boxes

it looks like the Bean and Boxes modules are merging. What's the future for these two modules? Will Boxes end up going away in favor of Bean, or will Bean be rolled into Boxes? For someone choosing between the two for a current project, would it make more sense to go with Bean, even though it's apparently being ported into Boxes?

I also am curious about the distinction. Either way really excited about this :)

Any info on the project pages about the merge of Boxes and Bean in version 7.x-2.x-dev would be well appreciated.

Since the Boxes 7.x-2.x-dev interface has become similar to the Bean interface, we decided (as newcomers to Block replacements) to go for Bean at this moment, but will keep an eye open for future releases of Boxes.

Thanks for the great work!
