This is a bit of an older thread, but I found it because I was wandering
through the archives trying to find an answer to my question:
why specifically is rails 2.2.2 is a requirement for 0.25? The release
notes[0] say:
Rails versions up to 2.3.x are now supported. Rails version
2.2.2 or greater is required.
However, I cannot find anywhere that details why 2.2.2. Debian's stable
is at 2.1, and I'm wondering if installing 0.25.x on those stable
systems is asking for a problem, if so what are those problems?

I would love that shirt. I'm constantly fighting this battle and having
to re-explain why it is a bad thing, over and over again.

Not to open an old discussion, but saying 'best practice with Rails'
does not give something much weight at all, there are a lot of best
practices with Rails that are absurd and this is one of them.

and then I did not see any more discussion of this. Is there any clear
indication of why 2.2.2 was chosen somewhere?
thanks!
