Severity: serious
Justification: obsolete
ruby-hpricot is obsolete.
Upstream has this to say:

>
> But if you still feel like "No damnit, I wanna work on hpricot itself still!"
> then fork
> this repo and start work. Send @evanphx or @nicksieger a message if you feel

> Thanks to \_why for all the fun. We'll never forget it.
If your package depends on ruby-hpricot, please move away from it
immediately.
We're not going to have ruby-hpricot in stretch.
