In the long run, having multiple sources like gem.coop is probably a safer and more robust solution. But for RubyGems specifically, the trust was fully lost, through several layers - maintainers, community members, sponsors, etc. There's still open questions that probably need to be resolved like the funding and data privacy stuff, but I think most folks in ruby land will be supportive of this.

Matz is a pillar. Remember "Matz is nice and so we are nice"? s/nice/nice and responsible/gc.

Surprised to hear this, have been a Rubyist for many years and never felt this way about community as a whole. Come to Ruby Kaigi in Japan sometime!

I don't like talking about a heterogeneous group of people in a generally negative way. I try to stick to the people I perceive as sharing the same values that are important to me. And there are many such people in the Ruby community.
