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 |
| 8 |
in my own code. It hasn't been hard to fix them, but it's taken some |
| 9 |
time. |

# epm -ql ruby | grep -v 1.6 |

/usr/bin/ruby |

/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 |
| 18 |
of the current ebuild, and make the new versions be SLOT="1.8". Would |
| 19 |
that be a good solution? (Maybe not.. that's why I'm asking.) |
