Personally, I wouldn't touch RVM with a ten-foot pole. For one thing, I insist on installing software only from native packages. For another, RVM requires manually switching among various Ruby versions -- useful for developers, I'm sure, but not so much for running system software. But one could, indeed, package a more recent Ruby oneself. In this particular case, it is likely that the RHEL or CentOS 6 source RPM for Ruby 1.8.7 will build with little or no change on CentOS 5.
