I thought I knew why I use gemsets (I have a different one for each
combination of ruby/rails, major rails version that is, that I use, so
1.8.7@rails_2.3, 2.0.0@rails_4.2 etc) but I am not so sure now that it
is worth it. It does mean that as I obsolete a version of rails I can
remove the old gemset and so delete the old gems. How do you stop the
global gemset from ending up with hundreds of obsolete gems, or do you
just not bother about it?
