I've often had questions (after the usual question of what gem version 
is in what version of what platform (between Fedora/EPEL/RHEL)) about 
whether a specific version of a gem distributed with a given version of 
the platform had;

1) been updated with CVE patches,
2) been patched to negate bugs.

Depending on the feasibility, of course, perhaps there's opportunity to 
contain that information in isitfedoraruby.com as well?

Kind regards,
