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.
apt-packaged ruby installs as ruby1.8, FreeBSD ports ruby installs as
ruby18, and both provide a link from ruby to the correct name. From
the setup.rb change, I believe a majority of the other packaging
systems install ruby this way. Not as many people build ruby by hand.
If you want to make --format-executable the default for you, ~/.gemrc
allows you to make it so.
