Just to make sure I understood the whole update thing correctly.
All points below are for f21/rawhide only.

1. The new guidelines say that Requires/Provides should not be listed in
spec. This is for ALL gems right? If so, shouldn't all gems be rebuilt?
Not only those that require ruby-devel.

2. ruby 2.1 isn't yet in rawhide so we must use `--target=f21-ruby` when
pushing an update. I'm not too familiar with koji tags, does that mean
that koji uses a special repo where ruby2.1 is in? What about moving to
rawhide repos, I mean will it be done automatically at some point?

3. When running a test suite of rubygems that require ruby-devel, we
must from now on point to LOAD_PATH explicitly
(-I%{buildroot}%{gem_extdir_mri}). gems with no C extensions should not
require this, right?

Hope I didn't leave anything out :)
