Rails core - May 2014 - Optional Rails initializer loading depending on Ruby plaform

Hey, 

I found myself having to use jRuby in my app for a very very small but 
essential piece of code. The code in question is bundled in a gem which I 
require in Bundler under the jRuby platform, with all the rest of my gems 
put under MRI. This was unfortunately necessary otherwise if I don't put 
the rest under MRI Bundler will try to download jRuby versions of every 
gem, which eventually breaks if a gem uses any C extensions.

This has worked for me fine, but it required that I patch all my 
initializers to make them load conditionally, i.e. depending on which 
platform they are part of in Bundler. Because Rails treats them as regular 
files with no mapping to their gems (Most of the files are gem initializers 
in my case, but I concede that it might not the case for everyone), they 
will load, and since some are not installed for one platform or the other, 
this errors out. 

Has anyone been subject to problems like this? There are many solutions for 
my case, but I would like to know what people think about this or if 
someone has solved this before in other way.
