When you attempt to use a ruby version that is not currently installed the output stating such is returned to STDOUT. I believe that this should be an error condition worthy of STDERR.

Case in point: I have a cron job that I don't care to be e-mailed about unless there is a problem, so I'd like to pipe STDOUT to /dev/null (since RVM outputs the ruby version you are now using as STDOUT). However, if for some reason a colleague changes the RVM configuration and removes a Ruby that I'm depending on, I will not be notified of this error state.
