I only started using rvm recently, and therefore can't comment on how
primetime ready it is. But given all the benefits it's say it's definitely
worth checking.

If we can have a stable and usable system-wide rvm (and iron-out some
minor quirks for certain popular gems) or similar setup, it could be a good
stride towards making Ruby a first-class citizen in Fedora and making
Fedora a very likeable distro choice for Ruby community.

I'm not saying that it has to be rvm and only rvm, but the idea sounds neat.
There would be some packaging changes necessary if we are to achieve a
rvm or any other good multi-ruby env.

+1 from me for the idea of system-wide rvm/multi-ruby env
