The right way to go.

As tests say, its broken, yes.

I dont have any problem with loomio... I have a problem uploading things
that brokes users functionality.

The only reverse dependcy of aws is gitlab, and the current version is
totally broken.

Is strange, that a reverse depency of gitlab, that is taking too much love
on his dependencies, has one totally broken...

It would be faster to jump directly to v3, but there are some issues:

As I say, packaging from gems should not the way to go. Is like packaging C
libraries from distribution tars (not source ones):

distribution tars == binary ones

I dont see any complains on the review by the ftp masters... Nor on the
load on the archive...
