Reasons for depreciating 1.6.8 are: 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 =20 /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=3D"1.6" version of the current ebuild, and make the new versions be SLOT=3D"1.8". Would that be a good solution? (Maybe not.. that's why I'm asking.)
