"The Rubygems.org Takeover"

What a mess.

I haven't had any real opinion about the RubyGems situation detailed in this post by Joe Brockmeier on LWN, mostly because in reading all the accounts, it was hard to parse who everyone was and where they're coming from. This post seems to round up the various accounts I've read separately and corral them into a single location, so it's worth a read.

I think that, ultimately, having RubyGems and Bundler taken over by the Ruby Core Team makes sense for the stability of the ecosystem, but it's unfortunate that it's come to this.
