Description Yasuhiro Kimura freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2013-08-30 00:50:00 UTC 
	

	Since Ruby 1.8 reached it's EOL at the end of June, mark DEPRECATED
	and set EXPIRATION_DATE at 6 months after it's EOL day.

I am not sure it is a good idea at this point.  A lot of commercial
consumers of FreeBSD still use ruby 1.8 despite the fact it is EOL,
and will use it for a while since some software is quite hard to migrate.

I'm all for printing the EOL message, but my believe it is a bit premature
to drop ruby 1.8 now or 6 months later.  This might cause FreeBSD consumers
to drop FreeBSD and move to Linux, which still defaults to 1.8 in it's majority,
as far as I know.
