well for one ... we would kind of need 2 directories for said gems imho.
because uninstalling the gems that form the stdlib or a release should
not be possible. I have been discussing some kind of vendor gems
directory for gems installed by a distributor which shouldnt be removed
with "gem uninstall" either, so once this feature is implemented both
use cases can be achieved.
