My main downstream project is based on 1.8 (since that's what's in

May be you should start to be worried about RHEL 7.
I am looking to the future and especially to Ruby 1.9. :)
Honestly, if you are developing for current RHEL, then it is best
to
develop on RHEL. If you are developing for future RHEL, then it is
best to develop on Rawhide. However, this is not discussion about
RHEL but about Fedora.
That's already the process. As I said, I'm just being conservative
about
the transition; i.e., the idea of "we're going to completely dump
LANG
vX for LANG vY with this release" (when there are incompatibilities
between X and Y) gives me chills. ;)
There is a remote possibility (and I put the stress on "remote") that a
software collection with Ruby 1.8.7 and a subset of Rubygems will go into Fedora 17 (see
[1] for information on software collections). However, maintaining software collections
is a huge overhead and we should focus on the new stuff more - like getting newest
versions into Rawhide and encourage everyone to use them (and actually use them
ourselves). Ruby 1.8.7 will be reaching EOL in year and half [2] and only a half of year
from that is normal maintenance, so it's time to move on.
