[katello-devel] Bundler vs rpm-gems - in more detail

I wonder if there is another solution:

== Get rid of the bundler

Make a patch to our application adding all required "require" statements
so we can safely delete Gemfile and Gemfile.lock, start up Rails and it
will work. Only for production of course.

During our discussion with Bundler author, he said this is the preferred
solution. I wonder if we need to use Bundler in production at all.

Currently the only issue is we load all the gemfiles with Bundler and we
do not put require statements in the individual source files.
