For the Ruby community, knowing that matz stands behind something makes a HUGE difference. Being able to add the list to the ruby-lang.org website is essential --and is controlled by matz and friends. That's not to say an unofficial list is not be possible, it just would be 100x harder to make effective --and for that, I doubt anyone really has the time and energy for; and it certainly could not be me. I'm not well liked by the community. In fact, the fact that *I* suggested it pretty much guarantees that it will never happen. Ha ha! My devious plan takes effect, Ruby will never have a beginner/expert list! ... (just kidding) T.
