Hi list,
I would like to run a bit of a cleanup in
devel:languages:ruby:extensions and get rid of all the old and
unmaintained gems that keep rotting in there.

Unless anyone objects, I will delete these packages in two weeks. If you
decide to save one of these, please reply to this email, so that I
remove them from the kill-list.
We also have quite a few uninstallable packages in the project, which
are imho also not very useful. I would tackle these in the second kill
round once we got the number of build failures down.
Cheers,
Dan
