8 This change broke the rspec test suite quite significantly and to the
9 point where it isn't clear if rspec 3.5 is actually compatible with
10 ruby24 or not. So, no ruby24 target for now, and consequently all
11 packages depending on it also can't get a ruby24 target.

13 Every ruby release will have some breaking changes, and the impact on
14 the tree will depend on which packages it will affect.
