I think it is pretty clear that any packaging system would be made
more convenient to use when bundled with the standard ruby
distribution.

There are a number of Ruby packaging systems being developed and
hopefully one will eventually "win."  When/if that happens I'd be
happy if it were made part of Ruby's standard distribution.  Until
then it seems premature.  E.g. whatever comes standard with Ruby
should probably work seamlessly with RAA.succ, but that isn't done
itself.
