The IT.rb group here in Raleigh had a design session around this very
piece, but AFAIK has moved beyond the discussion phase.

This is a small part of what I mention above. One of the things we
discussed was a complete separation of things like specific versions of
Rails (and other gems) from version of Fedora. IOW, why should F14 be
Rails 3.1? Why not let us run Fedora 17 with whatever version of Rails
we choose?
