Hey folks, thanks to some great work from John Trupiano we now have gem yank
live on the site. I need to work on the API/Gem documentation on the site
and help.rubygems, but it takes every concern we had during our previous
discussions into account.

* yanked gems are de-indexed but still available for download. example:
http://staging.rubygems.org/gems/bills/versions/0.0.1
* if people still need their gems removed permanently from the site we can
do that, just with a support request.
* once all versions of a gem have been de-indexed, the namespace goes up for
grabs from the next user to push to it.

To play with it you'll need gemcutter 0.5.0.pre (gem install gemcutter
--pre). Any feedback would be appreciated.

-Nick
