Issue #21349 has been reported by masterleep2 (Bill Lipa). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21349: default gems should have version >= 1 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21349 * Author: masterleep2 (Bill Lipa) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.4 (2025-05-14 revision a38531fd3f) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Many of the default gems have version numbers less than 1, including venerable offerings such as net-http and yaml. Versions starting with 0 often imply a prereleased or beta status. Surely if a gem has been released as part of the base distribution of ruby itself for a number of years, it is at least worthy of a 1.0 version number. This would reduce uncertainty or confusion about the quality / production readiness of gems distributed with ruby.
