This isn't true according to this article: https://www.404media.co/how-ruby-went-off-the-rails/. Joel has a terrible habit of not citing his sources so I'm not sure if the post in question is the same but this seems to nullify that argument. TBF I do think there was pressure from Shopify to get compliance and security in order but saying "Shopify demanded that Ruby Central take full control of the RubyGems" is just plain not true.

Ruby Central's whole thing is they maintain, develop, and secure bundler and ruby gems. Marty was previously a lead at Ruby Central and recently came back to RC as their Open Source Lead. It sounds like there was a clusterfuck getting the repo switched over but I'm not seeing how this is an attack on Ruby gems. Am I missing something?
