    Good stuff, but I don't think it belongs in core. There are not enough compelling reasons to specify your dependencies in a yml file for the general "most people, most of the time" case. Do turn it into a plugin, though.

    Hi Simon,

    The config.gems was originally started as a yaml file approach, but then that was decided against.

    If you want a robust approach which uses a yaml file which offers some advantages over the config.gems approach, please check out my GemInstaller tool (http://geminstaller.rubyforge.org). It is working well and is used in production on several apps. I'm also very open to feedback for changes or improvement.

    I plan to put up a comparison chart of geminstaller vs. config.gems, but that's going to be another month or so.

    Thanks,

    -- Chad
