F21 System Wide Change: Ruby193 in SCL

[Lukas Zapletal]

This is a great change that actually allows other teams that heavily
relies on Fedoras to put their software "on hold" for two Fedora
releases.

Fedora is really a fast moving target and the same for Ruby. Catching up
costs lot of effort. This gives us usually "one extra" release to put
things on hold when huge changes are in the Fedora/Ruby world. Which is
- ehm - every single release? :-)

Big up for this change.
