May be you should start to be worried about RHEL 7.
I am looking to the future and especially to Ruby 1.9. :)
Honestly, if you are developing for current RHEL, then it is best to
develop on RHEL. If you are developing for future RHEL, then it is
best to develop on Rawhide. However, this is not discussion about
RHEL but about Fedora.
That's already the process. As I said, I'm just being conservative about
the transition; i.e., the idea of "we're going to completely dump LANG
vX for LANG vY with this release" (when there are incompatibilities
between X and Y) gives me chills. ;)
