Personally, I would prefer a base install which included a pre-
configured rpkg or rapt, and a series of distributed synched rpkg or
rapt mirrors (ala the Debian packaging system).

A large footprint for _users_ is a problem, especially modem users.
There's no reason a user or a developer should have to download an extra
five megs of libraries and documentation that they're never going to use.
A working package management and distribution system gives users and
developers both a lean install and a rich library of libraries to choose
from.
I realize you're talking about separate Ruby "bundles", but I'm not so
sure that's a good idea. We already have different distributions for
different platforms, including multiple distributions for the same
platform (eg, multiple releases for Windows with different sets of
included packages). There's nothing wrong with having more than a few
"official" releases. However, I believe we should be wary providing too
many choices for a the following reasons:
- It complicates end-user installation. Ever seen a kid in a candy
store? How is a novice user supposed to distinguish between
ruby-1.8.4-large.tar.gz, ruby-1.8.4-medium.tar.gz,
ruby-1.8.4-small.tar.gz, ruby-1.8.4-large.exe, ruby-1.8.4-large2.exe,
ruby-1.8.4-small_by_someone_else.exe, etc? I've seen users -- even
technically adept ones -- aghast at the sheer number of options
available in certain installation programs and preference dialog boxes.
- It complicates development and deployment. Multiple base
distributions complicate deployment plans for developers because it
gives them multiple, moving targets. Imagine the following
conversation:
"Are regular expressions available with Ruby?"
"Sure, that comes with every distribution of Ruby."
"Is an XML parser available with Ruby?"
"Well this distribution of Ruby includes REXML, but this other
distribution includes NQXML, and these two over here don't include
one at all."
The solution usually involves one of the following: hand-rolling and
including "yet another" mini-implementation in order to guarantee your
software will run (quick quiz: how many APIs are there to create
linked lists on your system?), requiring users to manually traverse a
list of dependencies in the README and compile and install each one
(how many emails have you gotten about OpenSSL not compiling properly
on a users' system?), or distributing and using a specific version of
each dependency along with your package, thus negating the benefit
of shared objects and DLLs.
Again, I'm not saying we should impose some sort of draconian package
restriction on the various Ruby distributions. Rather, I believe the
effort required for the "A Different Ruby for Everyone!" system you're
proposing would be better spent on maintaining and extending the rich
standard API we already have, and deploying a standard Ruby library
package distribution system.
