That's really a bummer... I loved being able to fork a ruby lib, make some changes and have the gem available for any servers I used...

I also think that they should have given advance notice. Cutting features that I (as a paying customer) rely on without notice and then telling one week later that they won't bother to bring it back is not a good way to keep my trust.

Yes of course, but I like having the fact that it's done automatically on push... And I don't really like having to go back through my projects to change the gem dependencies...
