 is still in and can be cleaned up once we decide to go forward (I think this 
is one of the changes the JEP refers to).

Since the last time we discussed this (and I created the JEP), we added 
deprecation warning support to Jenkins 2.246 and newer, which is basically 
designed for such a case. This makes JEP-7 much cleaner to implement, because 
we now have good ways to inform users about it.

I'd start with a deprecation warning for ruby-runtime and all dependent plugins 
pointing to the JEP or this thread (or, if you want to write it up, a blog 
post), and if folks don't <s>complain</s> offer to take over ruby-runtime 
maintainership in large enough numbers, we can suspend a few weeks later, 
followed by core cleanup. WDYT?
