Hi,
due to gemification of the Ruby standard library [1], I think you should include bigdecimal gem in gemspec of activesupport - if new version of bigdecimal is released, you will need to add it there anyway, so that bundler doesn't pick up the bigdecimal that is bundled in the standard Ruby installation. (We are currently doing this unbudling in Fedora very seriously, moving the whole bigdecimal gem under rubygems directory structure, so it doesn't get loaded at all, when you don't add it to activesupport gemspec or Gemfile - which is, I think, not the expected behaviour.)

Thank you!
