we need to fix this in the cdk-2 docs.

yeah... This is a "distribution requirement" . If we tell customers we 
support something, we need to ship the *exact* version(s) we support. As 
a result, we have the gems built from dist-git in the cdk.zip to ensure 
that support has a "known good" version to work from.
