If it is right, don't we have the necessity of bundling rubygems itself any longer?

----------------------------------------
Regarding [ruby-core:59943], I agree with nobu that we should remove OpenSSL from ruby.

It's become too hard to maintain, and would better serve our users to encourage the use of a different implementation.

Another benefit of removing OpenSSL is the impact backport fixes have on the release management team.

Although I haven't yet determined the extent of work required to remove it (ie: tooling, tests, etc). We can discuss them here.
