This is problematic, because now multiple versions of version 1.4.2 of webrick exist... It also prevents people from quickly resolving the webrick-related security issue by just installing the new version of webrick. In the past, security patches often led to a fourth-place-version-number (see for example, rubygems itself, or [rdoc](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/8c57255f87e2a70a033d9b1e2bdd474bc1ba6cc5)) I suggest that a new version of webrick should be released to rubygems. I am also curious about how the process of dealing with similar issues in the future can be optimized -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
