Could you remove the following gem from RubyGems? https://rubygems.org/gems/smurf-rails

The gem is now called "smurfville" in order to avoid confusion with the old "smurf" gem, which I have nothing to do with. I don't wanted to give the impression that "smurf-rails" is an extension of the "smurf" gem.

Thank you very much and sorry for the extra work.

   Hey there,

   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.

   If there's a stronger reason to delete this gem, let me know. Otherwise just yank it.
