Oh no! We have a couple of options here:
- require ruby >= 1.9 for development. This would mean not installing
  the gems in the development group in CI (bundle install --without development)
- add a version restriction to the better_errors gem
- drop 1.8.7 support in Gitorious

The latter option sounds really dramatic, but it's bound to happen in
the not-so-far future. Ruby 1.8.7 is no longer maintained, and Rails 4
doesn't support it. For users upgrading their servers to Gitorious 3,
installing Ruby 1.9 in the process would be fairly simple with
ruby-install and chruby (this Puppet recipe does it:
https://gist.github.com/zmalltalker/5900206).

How dramatic would the consequences be for the work you're doing with
regards to packaging Gitorious if we were to drop 1.8 support, Ken?

Cheers,
