[ruby-talk:444056] Re: [ANN] hoe 4.0.0 Released

I’d encourage you to stop promoting practices worse than what Hoe does. If I replace Hoe in my projects, it will be with a derivation of Hoe that I maintain, not with garbage generated by `bundle gem` or other tools that I have tried (I’ve tried to use `gemsmith`, and find it…utterly unusable).
