Ethical and legal boundaries? RubyGems Privacy Notice already tells you that they share information with a number of large firms and notably ClickHouse... for "Customer Data Processing."

All this proposal does is request from one of the maintainers/on-call providers? another entry in this Privacy Notice as a part of a payment deal.

This is a mess, but it also unnecessary smears both sides. It calls out that RubyCentral had poor cloud management in place, and it trashes an on-call provider.

This is a terrible postmortem and all it does is advertise to users that RubyCentral doesn't know what it's doing.
