It seems like ruby regularly wants to stuff ruby_targets_rebyNN entries
into package.use on my machines - is this normal?

Now that ruby3 is out it wants to add a bunch of ruby_targets_ruby30
entries to the ruby_targets_ruby27 crud that's already there.

Same here. When this happens, I delete /etc/portage/package.use/ruby and
let portage create a fresh one.

It's still a mess, just a slightly cleaner and up to date mess.

When a bunch of these pop up, I usually add that ruby version
to RUBY_TARGETS in /etc/portage/make.conf and restart the emerge.

This mostly works for me as well. Some weeks later I # the entry and see 
what happens. If not needed anymore I delete it.
