Different ruby enviroments (called gemset) should have gems installed
separately. What if I uninstall a specific gem version across all ruby
versions?

Besides that, some gem has native extension which compiled according to
target ruby version.


If you don't like the rubygems / bundler to download the same gem file over
and over again, you could try something like gem server (like this[1]) or
cache them locally.
