I don't see a significant benefit from making the Ruby and Python port
infrastructure more consistent. In my mind, MODRUBY_FLAVOR should be the
actual FLAVOR, not the FLAVOR preceded by a comma. Simply because
Python is more popular is not a reason for the Ruby port infrastructure
to become less logical.
I'm currently against this change, but I'll consider feedback from other
porters regarding it. Maybe there is a significant benefit I am not
seeing.
Thanks,
