To be honest, I haven't thought that far ahead.
I'm still waiting for Ruby 1.9 to settle down enough to even consider
freezing the current version. (For example, the next beta will include
the 'symbol is no longer going to be an immediate object (probably))
change.) There have been hundreds of new methods added to the built in
libraries, changes and then more changes to numeric division, etc
etc... Once the dust clears, we'll think what our options are.
