Initial Comment:
As you might be aware (http://blog.zenspider.com/ #1), rubygems 1.8.2 prints a 
bunch of messages like this:

Gem::Specification#default_executable= called from 
/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.02/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/treetop-1.4.9.gemspec:11.

If you are not aware of issues this behavior is causing, please see here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5949521/how-do-i-fix-rubygems-recent-deprecation-warning
http://pupeno.com/blog/getting-rid-of-rubygems-deprecation-warnings/

It appears that the solution for this problem is to run a(nother) gem command.

Gem should run this command automatically as part of the upgrade, or 
installation. As a user I should not be tasked to fix the breakage that 
rubygems are inflicting on ruby gems (or the other way around).

This report is brought to you courtesy of http://blog.zenspider.com/ #2.

Thanks.

Message:
Good job. This single decision is going to result in
person-years (I am not exaggerating this one bit) of wasted
effort by ruby developers.

I wonder what you were expecting, a shower of gifts and
gratitude from the people whose time you wasted and no doubt
will waste again?

Clearly when you wrote that blog post you knew what you were
doing. Maybe you knew the full ramifications then, maybe you
did not and maybe you still are trying to convince yourself
that it is no big deal. Well, it *is* a big deal and what
you said applies first and foremost to yourself.
