However, maintaining software collections is a huge overhead and we should focus on the new stuff more - like getting newest versions into Rawhide and encourage everyone to use them (and actually use them ourselves). Ruby 1.8.7 will be reaching EOL in year and half [2] and only a half of year from that is normal maintenance, so it's time to move on.

I agree. All I'm arguing for is a transition period rather than a hard
cutover.
