Therefore I would recommend building a minimal ruby package that is isolated (not on any PATH) and only used by yast. The package would only include libruby$SOVER, a "rubyyast" binary, some stdlib (whatever you need) and all yast's gem dependencies in matching versions. Of course those have to be installed in a private gem path.
We are already talking about this with the SLE release managers. For reasons outside of YaST.
This way you can independently update yast without risking to break your customer's (or other SUSE) applications. IMO that's the only sane option you have.
My assumption is that we will not maintain a single Ruby version for long but rather follow upstream. Otherwise its a maintenance nightmare.
