Fortunately, there is a "js" package (mozilla spidermonkey), that is already packaged in Fedora and can be used, so we can go with it (maybe we could make it a hard dependency of Rails until we provide some other engines that users can choose from?).

It seems the server-side js dependency is pulled in via coffeescript, so
an alternative solution would be to remove that dependency for the time
being (since nodejs and execjs haven't made it into Fedora yet).

Could we remove these from the default Gemfile? This way the new rails
project creation would be a minimal install, and developers could expand
it from there.

Which Fedora version are you targeting the updated Rails rpms?
