<p>We only remove gems under dire circumstances. Please check the
FAQ here:</p>

<p>Our policy is to only perma-delete gems that really need it,
such as gems that may contain passwords, malicious/harmful code,
etc. Yanking a gem effectively removes it from being found and will
do the trick in 99% percent of situations.</p>
<p>If there'a stronger reason to delete it, let us know.</p></div>Nick Quaranto
