I've been curious why heroku deploys my development and test gems onto
my production machine. In the latest newsletter they mention adding
the following line to prevent that from happening. My question is,
"why isn't this the default behavior?"

"heroku config:add BUNDLE_WITHOUT=development:test"


>From the newsletter.....

Specify gems to bundle in production
Is your slug getting too big? Taking too long to compile? One of the
most common reasons for that is a bloated Gemfile. There's no reason
to include the gems from your development and test groups when you
push to Heroku, so you can exclude them by setting a config var:

$ heroku config:add BUNDLE_WITHOUT=development:test
Once that's added, future deploys will automatically ignore gems in
the development and test groups—or whatever other groups you want to
exclude.
