Disclaimer: I really like the unix model of building products.

The objection I''ve heard is specifically for
   - gems that depends on native packages in the repository
   - ruby, rvm and ruby that is already in the native package manager
The idea expressed was that dependencies are already explicitly defined by
the native package manager, and that this is the clean way of resolving
these dependencies. Another objection to installing your own version was
that this bypasses the standard way for distributions to deploy security and
bug-fixes.

From experience I think this view falls short because most dependencies are
resolved by just calling bundler, and for those that are not you can just
update your README with the proper information.

best,
Andy
