I've trying to look at this bug.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572722
I think an option is simply to create a rails2.3 package. I realize
this probably less than ideal, but the only real solution I see for
the problem. Thoughts?

Well, I don't oppose to making parallel-installable rails 2.3.x related
packages on EPEL itself.
However I don't know if EPEL's policy allows such decision like "We made
rails 2.3.x packages so please use them. Althogh rails 2.1.x is still shipped
on EPEL5, well, WONTFIX" (note that I don't know EPEL's policy well).
I guess even if rails 2.3.x packages are imported into EPEL5, if bug 572722
is due to bug in rails 2.1.x it should be fixed anyway and so the cause
of bug 572722 should be investigated anyway.
