Yes, that would work if I can pick and choose what I want from ror40 including bundler, but not be required to install rails 4.0.
We'd rather just use the SCL for core ruby and let bundler handle the rest since our users/developers can be on rhel, centos, fedora, ubuntu, osx, etc.

Yes, I think that would be a good idea.  I can see developers wanting to use sinatra, padrino, or just ruby but want to use bundler for dependency management.

Thanks Vit!
