Yes, that is an alternative. I would however prefer doing them first, so that we don't have to modify the rails default application template (a modification, that we would throw away eventually).
There are few reviews, that were open by Fotios Lindiakos ([1], [2], [3]), but I can't reach him, so it would probably be better to take them and finish them, so we can move on with this.

I would prefer leaving this as close to the upstream as possible. So don't remove anything, but make rails srpm depend on all the stuff (this means coffe-rails, jquery-rails, sass-rails, uglifier and js). Here are the SRPMS for the packages that are not in Fedora nor under review yet [4]. (They are not fine-tuned, so please be tolerant ;) ).
