Thanks.

I'll repeat: could we consider to still bundle these gems in next major version but with some warning? If you "update" the gem then the conversion warning would not be there. This could ease conversion.

I promoted many standard libraries to the default gems. You can see them at https://stdgems.org/#default-gems-ruby-301

I propose the following libraries to promote the bundled gems from the default gems.

```
matrix
prime
net/ftp
net/smtp
net/pop
net/imap
```

They have primary maintainer in the canonical repository in github. So, they can release the new version with their convenience. 

@shugo @marcandre Any thought?

And I also propose to extract the following libraries from the default gems.

```
tracer
dbm
gdbm
```

They are no longer actively maintained and not widely used today.
