[DRE-maint] Bug#448639: Taking this to the CTTE?

[Tollef Fog Heen]

Hi Daigo,

using /var/lib/gems is really quite annoying, and I have meant to write
something along the lines of what Clint Byrum wrote a few messages ago.
Sure, using /usr/local isn't ideal, but that's a choice that's up to the
local system administrator; what you're effectively doing is just
forcing people to jump through a hoop and having to add
/var/lib/gems/bin to the default path, which is really quite silly.  The
lack of consistency with what CPAN does is also annoying as we're making
a distribution, not just packaging a bunch of software.

So, please, please change this.  If you don't want to change this, I'll
take this to the CTTE so they can rule on this.

Regards,
