Sorry, I think I expressed myself a little bit confusing. I never have written

Why do you use Merge Modules instead of just .wixlibs everywhere? Do you share
the Merge Modules with other groups that don't use the WiX toolset?

Yes, the Directories that are parented to TARGETDIR can be “reparented”. The
MSI SDK talks about how you can author your Merge Module’s directory table to
be retargetable.

You have to write your own Rollback scripts. Due to the design of the Windows
Installer it is not possible to maintain a single SQL transaction through the
whole install process... so we get stuck with more of a compensating
transaction model as opposed to ACID.
