Sorry to interrupt your ranting, but can you please provide a sample
of the problem?

Like, a short script that exposes the problem before and after the
update?

You can easily use a old version of the gem simply by indicating it to
"gem" command:

require 'rubygems'
gem 'libxml', 'version goes here'
require '...'

Don't rant without providing information for others to agree or
disagree with you.

At least do that, and we will make this a better world.
