Worth mentioning, it still might be worthwhile. For example, it might be 
something simple, but something that may change in the future. Or it might be 
repeated so often that the code to implement it (kept in one place) is smaller 
than the combined places where it's pasted.

Yeah, in that case, it probably doesn't matter.
I suspect there's more to a gemspec than that, though.
