Reducing slug size on the Heroku Bamboo stack

I have seen a number of questions and answers on how to reduce your Heroku slug size but I can't get it to budge. In How to reduce heroku slug size? it is mentioned that there is a bug in Bundler that means that unused gems are not cleaned out.

One of the comments on that question says:

Note that this issue has now been fixed with Bundler. Opening a support ticket is no longer necessary

I have a few questions:

  1. Does this mean that an updated version of Bundler is now used on the Heroku Bamboo stack with this fix in it?
  2. Do I have any control over which version of Bundler is being used by Heroku?
  3. Is Heroku running on a newer version of Bundler then the "release" version?

No, as far as I am aware the Bundler has not changed on Bamboo

Do I have any control over which version of Bundler is being used by Heroku?

No

Is Heroku running on a newer version of Bundler then the "release" version?

Sometimes, for instance, at the moment they are running a Bundler rc on Cedar.
