Yes, they're no longer needed from F21 onwards as they're
auto-generated at build time.  (See contents of rubygems-devel.)

Remember to keep them for EPEL and pre-F21 releases - I've come across
a few instances recently (in and outside of Fedora) where they've been
removed on older branches and builds.
