1. Do users need to know about MRI? I had to search the Web to figure out that it's referring to Matz's Ruby Interpreter (or CRuby), which is the reference implementation. This information (if important) may be useful to include, like "Ruby MRI (Matz's Ruby Interpreter) 2.1 ...". 2. Grammar and tone seems a little off. Here's my attempt at a rewrite, if you don't mind: ~~~ Ruby MRI (Matz's Ruby Interpreter) 2.0 was retired by upstream in February 2016. [1] Following this, Ruby MRI 2.0 support will be removed from Gentoo in favor of Ruby MRI 2.1. We recommend updating to the 'ruby21' target as soon as possible. [insert eselect guide here] ~~~ I wrote my edit trying to stay close to the original writing style. I hope it's satisfactory. The eselect part reads well. We could remove the "MRI" part, but as a non-Rubyist I don't feel qualified to determine whether it's important or not. I felt that the base profile variable mention and the bit about MRI being the best interpreter were better left out, but it also doesn't actively hurt it. Someone more experienced in news-writing should clarify that. Overall I thought it was a good initial draft. -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6
