The operation policy and principle will be changed, won't it? As a result, both of quantitatively and qualitatively of gems that can be installed from gems.rubyforge.org will be also changed widely. I think we can say that "traditional rubyforge will disapper." This is a good chance to review the policy of rubygems. Even so, I have no idea if gems.rubyforge.org should be removed from default repositories of rubygems or not. After I have sent my mail, I found this is not a new idea. A similar idea was discussed when rubygems was imported. [ruby-dev:31320] The discussion seems to include other various topics and to be quite confused. I will read it later. -- Yusuke ENDOH
