I think there shouldn't be any need to do that just for the Yaml issue -  
if you upgrade to 1.8.4 in a few days, or even downgrade to 1.8.2, your  
gem will be fine.

If you _really_ don't want to switch versions, you could use a workaround  
I use, that I believe works (it at least gets gems distributed by  
Rubyforge, and I've had no complaints about them not working on prior  
versions). See  
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/171295 (yes,  
this time I _could_ find the thread :))
