I work with Michael Pearson; I'm one of the people who torments him by insisting on checking in .rvmrc files. I'm probably also one of the people who doesn't have a problem with RVM in production, but I haven't tried using some of the more recent releases. Certainly the random changes don't help. It seems that if Wayne stopped insisting people always use the latest version, it wouldn't be such a problem to automate.
As for .rvmrc, I haven't yet heard a good reason why checking it in is bad, and I can think of a few reasons it's convenient. I can be convinced though; and I haven't done a lot of searching to find opinions conflicting with mine :) Simon.
