The dep actually isn't new, it was added (according to my buddy `git
blame`) 4 months ago in response to this[1] issue because users were
expecting to be able to install gems with cfntools.

You're right that this should have been caught earlier, and a nightly
check would certainly help. Sorry I missed the cutoff getting that build
to stable.
