It's not really any harder to modify the dependencies in Ruby (or Python, or I'd guess most other dynamic languages). They're usually all stored deep in a subdirectory, but a little find-fu typically gives them up quickly enough. I agree that people should be more willing to dig underneath the covers and see how the code they depend on handles things.
