I really, really hate separate releases.  It leads to synchronization
problem.  See dismal states of Rdoc and Rubygems:

  - [ruby-core:26679]
  - [ruby-core:31499]
  - [ruby-core:31503]

Even so, I can't suggest to unbundle them, because Rdoc and RubyGems
are needed and actually used for *ruby itself*.

Nokogiri is not.  If separate releases is preserved, I'll vote "no"
against Nokogiri.
