Most important question is whether it can be built on whatever box/environment used by DSA for security uploads. Is there a chance they would be willing to run a test build for us? > Ruby is clearly in a bad state on SPARC, and upstream doesn't want to > support it (http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1172), so (1) is > probably the more reasonable option. It it's not actively supported upstream on sparc, then I don't think it's feasible for us to do it, given dwindling developer interest in the sparc port. What major fallout would removal of ruby (along with all its reverse-deps) cause?
