Comment(by TomH):

 I agree that in a perfect world that might be a nice idea but the reality
 is that nobody is maintaining it and there is no reason for anybody
 involved in the OSM project to do so.

 In particular in this case RMagick is a major barrier to entry for people
 trying to setup a local instance of the rails code for development, so
 removing it is good from that point of view and now that we have switched
 to paperclip for the user images nothing that osm.org uses requires
 RMagick.

 There is a fundamental tensions here between the fact that we are trying
 to develop "the OpenStreetMap web site" and other people are trying to use
 that code base for other purposes which was never our intention.
