Why don't you create ruby-shim ebuild for 1.6.8 users to keep using
1.6.8 for a while? I noticed some ruby scripts are broken with ruby
1.8.0 and don't want to upgrade ruby to 1.8 on several machines.
Ruby-shim will not be maintained for long periodes, but still
it is useful for us to get smooth transition.

I disagree with this option because there will be a certain number of
people who stick to use 1.6.8 and they will want packages supporting
1.6.8 as well as 1.8. Of course I am one of those ;-)
