Thank you.  Please let me know if you need any help.

It looks like these seven commits are part of the loofah transition:

https://github.com/search?
q=repo%3Aredmine%2Fredmine+merge%3Afalse+42737&type=commits

I haven’t tested it, but I would be surprised if all of these applied cleanly 
on 6.1.  As a general rule, I don’t like to cherry-pick patches this large as 
they can introduce corner case bugs that are hard to catch.

Yes, Redmine 7 requires Rails 8.1.  Otherwise, I would just package Redmine 7 
now.

Do you have any sense of how many things would break if we upgraded Rails to 
8.1?

:)

Yes, thank you.  That was indeed a typo and I meant to send it to debian-ruby.
