I maintain a package (remctl) that builds, among other things, a Ruby
extension.  I noticed that it showed up as affected by the upcoming
ruby1.8-removal transition, and I think this may be the relevant bug.  (At
least, it's the only open bug that looks relevant.)

On my next package upload, should I just drop Ruby 1.8?  I can easily do
that, but I wasn't sure if we were at the point where that was now
desirable, or if the upgrade path for Ruby 1.8 users had been worked out
and had any implications for how I should handle matters in my package.
(Breaks or whatnot, etc.)

For now, I'm continuing to build 1.8 and 1.9.1 modules, but I can quickly
change that as soon as I know what to do.

(Due to the nature of this source package, it handles which Ruby versions
to build for itself, so it requires some minor source changes to fiddle
with the supported version list.)
