Gov maybe will want him dead, but Darryl saves him...and then Darryl and Merle eventually have a showdown?

I don't see Gov ever killing Merle unless he finds someone better. And by better, I mean a simple-minded one-man army that Gov can manipulate into doing his bidding. I know he has other goons, but Merle isn't just your average goon. He's a stone cold killer.

IMO, Merle is just as valuable to the Gov as the doctor.
