The "-j" option was added 5 years ago (rails@d9c39c3a) when we wanted to support prototype-rails and jquery-rails. Prototype is not as popular and jQuery is not a requirement anymore. Still the "-j" option can be used to install *any* gem that ends in "-rails". This "might" open security issues and does not bring great benefits anymore. If you know which "-rails"-ending gem you want to install, you can manually add it to the Gemfile just like any other gem.

It's possible for people to have an app template that includes the option. Perhaps a .railsrc too. Perhaps it's best to deprecate. |

I think this makes a lot of sense. It would also alleviate the confusion in my issue created here: #28512 |

If they have in the .railsrc it will just be ignored. |

I'll include this in 5.1 since we already include rails-ujs. |
