Hi Eliot,

Thanks for responding.  That makes total sense.  

Totally taking into account the all volunteer nature of Cygwin, would it make sense to defer on further non-emergency releases of Cygwin until all packages that are EOL have been updated?  Since this is the case with ruby, I am guessing it's likely the case with other packages in Cygwin too.

Is there a backlog for Cygwin somewhere, so that I can investigate this myself if I have time this winter?

Thank you and all the best,
Eric

If nobody has responded I can give a generic response:
"Because cygwin is all volunteer and someone has not volunteered, or did volunteer and is behind, or fell off the radar."

Someone else will know how to look up if there is a currently registered volunteer for Ruby ...
