    Afaik rubygems kicked some long term contributors and stole the entire project. Thats some serious red flags for me. At what point rubyruby gems does something nasty is only a matter of time. They could start to gatekeep or even worse add some sort of paid version. Anyway.. a core piece of infra like this needs to be open for anyone and not closed for some shady entrerprize.

      That's a particularly one sided account of the events. Ruby Central wanted to oust one or two specific maintainers because of a rocky relationship (whether it was warranted or not is not my point). It later backfired when a majority of the other maintainers resigned. > They could start to gatekeep or even worse add some sort of paid version. That's a funny accusation given that's something the ousted maintainers now behind gem.coop wanted to do a while ago.
