Rubygems post-install notice frequency

[Greg-Myers-SB]

Description of the bug

Each individual gem in package gives the same ruby and rails notice even though it is not contextually relevant to someone using Ruby 3.3 and Rails 8.

I'd expect one or zero post-install notices if it's not relevant to my install.

The post install messages are intentional and emitted for each gem that instruments Rails. Users may selectively install instrumentation specific gems and we want to make them aware that this change will be coming soon.

Since you are using the "all" it is installing transitive dependencies for Rails instrumentations, even though you aren't activating them or using them in your application.

These messages will stop being emitted once we drop compatibility on 01-15-2025

It's good to know it's temporary and thank you for it in general.
More a curiosity, is it possible to prevent it being emitted if you're already on a new ruby or rails?
Happy for this to be closed as it's temporary.

AFAIK Post install messages don't support checks for transitive dependencies.

@simi do you or any RubyGems maintainers have any tips for us?
