I really want to try this out, just to help you guys find issues, but  
I have to admit that I'm a clinging to my safe 1.8.2 raft out of  
fear.  Can someone tell me if these issues are supposed to be  
resolved now:

1.  RubyGems-RubyForge incompatibility (YAML problem, if memory serves).
2.  Missing documentation (ri Kernel).

I think think my other issues were resolved by application developers  
(Rails, Rake, etc).  If people speak positively about the two above,  
maybe I can convince myself to try again...
