I believe RubyGems is currently feature-complete for the next

For
the next while I'll be focusing on bugfixes and patches from the
tracker. I
expect to release a new version in two weeks at minimum, possibly
longer.
I'd love to see little-known --format-executable enabled by default
for gem installs.
I would like the opposite to be the default.
I would love to make --format-executable the default, but that will
cause
too much confusion and will inconvenience the majority too much.
(Maybe I
shouldn't have made it default for setup.rb/gem update --system,
but the two
new rubygems/defaults files may help improve that situation.)
The naming changes only when that person has changed his ruby's naming
also, so it feels natural.
The majority have a vanilla ruby so they'll see no change or
confusion.
The problem is expectation. People run `ruby foo.rb` and it works, so
they expect `gem ...` to work too. Distros pack in a link which is
what fools people into thinking they're getting it without the suffix.
My solution to this problem is also to keep implementations seperate,
and in that regard, continually having to add extensions to the
commands i use daily, and really mostly messing with tab completion
speed, is a must not. As it is, on most of our platforms I re-link gem
to gem1(\.)?8 as appropriate.
I then switch between 'contents' with a bash function:

-- background on my setup --

I installed rubinius source into rubinius/code and installed it into
rubinius/install.
But since Rubinius doesn't have the equivalent of '-S' I need to
supply
the full path to the gem.rb command.
`rbx gem env` will do what you want.
We have discussed making gem executables accessible via rbx as a
subcommand,
`rbx rake`. We will probably wire this in via the rubygems/
defaults file.
