I addressed that VERY specifically in my comment:

The problem is that the author of the gem just forced a firedrill down everyone's throats today. Doesn't matter if they wanted to or not.

And in prior incidents admins who have taken the precaution of setting up rubygems mirroring and thought they were being responsible were embarrassed to discover that the gem yank was propagated to their own mirror.

Which is a lack of testing, but again, those deficiencies happen, and this is really forcing a firedrill on everyone, without any notification. And the author who did the yank was likely completely unaware of the blast radius of what that action would entail.
