You mean "deprecate", I'm pretty sure.

I've seen a number of things break with 1.8.0 that worked on 1.6.8, even
in my own code.  It hasn't been hard to fix them, but it's taken some
time.

    # epm -ql ruby | grep -v 1.6  
    /usr/bin/ruby
    /usr/bin/irb
    /usr/lib/libruby.so
    /usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1.gz

Looks to me like it would be really easy to provide a SLOT="1.6" version
of the current ebuild, and make the new versions be SLOT="1.8".  Would
that be a good solution?  (Maybe not.. that's why I'm asking.)
