Reminds me of developing rails apps way back in the day before RVM gemsets or bundler came along. You'd vendor all the gems (& specific version for your app) into `vendor/gems` ala http://nubyonrails.com/articles/2005/12/22/freeze-other-gems...

I still vendor all the gems, only I use Bundler to do it.

It's pretty much crazy not to, in my opinion. Stuff gets removed, and networks are unreliable, so locking/resolving dependencies to specific versions is insufficient.

Sorry yes, I meant it reminded me of vendoring gems _by hand_. I think everyone is vendoring gems via Bundler these days, because it would be insanity not to!
