Your arguments sound nice in theory.

Yet I don't know a single ruby shop who runs with a distro-packaged ruby, even though REE is available as a .deb.

We do - nothing wrong with Debian stable's 1.8.7 and/or 1.9.2.

I do this for a living, and I've used Debian-packaged Ruby wherever I've gone. I haven't experienced issues.

I use the Phusion-provided .debs for REE on Ubuntu.

Count us in. We only use packaged ruby, be that MRI or JRuby.
