The assumption that she has absolute authority over our communal resources is absurd.

She really does not seem to understand that Ruby Central exists in service to Ruby developers. It is an administrative role, not governing.

This is exactly why Sidekiq only ever specifies ">=" in its gemspec version constraints. As a library in your application, I'd rather be loose and assume compatibility so I don't force unnecessary upgrades on you.

It was stolen by a member of ruby-core, hsbt. What can we do when ruby-core feels entitled to take projects from the people that have maintained them for years?
