There is plenty of rubygem-*-rails packages in Fedora. We will try to 
ensure, that all these works. There is currently no Rails application in 
Fedora to my knowledge.

Nevertheless, some functionality previously available in Rails was 
deprecated and extracted into separate gems. Not sure if it is worth of 
importing all these packages into Fedora, since the code is considered 
legacy by RoR upstream. Therefore, there is chance that application 
using RoR on F19 will *not* survive upgrade to F20 without modifications.
