It has to be removed due to Fedora policies.

There is no way how to do it, since you don't know where to find 
thor/net-http-persistent on the system. If Bundler had used original 
RubyGems require, it would be OK, but they opted to use their custom 
loader. That is the biggest fail in Bundler design (if we can speak of 
desing, since Bundler is unfortunately just pile of workarounds).

Yes, they opted for bundling instead of proper design. Unfortunately, 
Bundler upstream was never open to any of our suggestions towards better 
packaging and easier collaboration with distributions. They live in Ruby 
(MacOS X) world and they can't imagine, that somebody might use 
something else.

Could you share your patch with us, please?

Some examples? Bugzillas?
