I'm replying to this one)

(Ok, you didn't ask me, I'm in neither group mentioned, but I'll put in 
my 2cents anyway) 
Why not?  This is a golden opportunity to see some real change since the 
RAA is in maintenance mode till the end of the month.  It's worth a try.  
Lots of folks in the community have been waiting for RAA.succ for 2-3 
years now.  Now is not the time to be timid. ;-)

If it works out, it'll be great for the community all around.  If not, 
then maybe it's still a bit too early and the two (RAA and 
RubyForge_with_Gems) will coexist for  some amount of time till one wins 
out over the other based on user support (I would think that 
RubyForge_with_Gems would eventually win because of the convenience, but 
who knows?)
