The RPA page says, "RPA will be a controlled repository of Ruby 
libraries and applications, managed by a dedicated team that will ensure 
consistency and proper QA."

Does this mean that, if I want to release a library packaged for RPA, I 
would first need *permission*?

The FAQ suggests that the actual developer cannot simply create an RPA 
package and release it. If that's true, it collides with my notion of 
"so much cooler."
