• ruby -v: ruby 3.1.0dev (2021-12-01 master 0b53a8895f) [x86_64-linux]

Could there be documented what is the difference between default and bundled gems? E.g.

• Are the Bundled gems considered a part of StdLib or not?
• What is general strategy for the future, seeing more and more gems moving from default to bundled gems in Ruby 3.1
• Default gems does not need to be listed in Gemfile where Bundled gems needs to be listed in Gemfile
• Default gems can be used without RubyGems where Bundled gems requires RubyGems

💡Not sure if this helps, but Ruby Standard Gems is always a great source of reference. I use it often, myself.
