Bug Description

ruby1.8 is the default ruby for precise at the moment. 1.8.7 is supposed to drop out of support by the middle of 2013, and security updates are not going to happen.

Which is a bit of a problem for a platform that is supposed to be supported through to 2017.

Is there a way this can be handled. How is python obsolescence handled?

Is 1.9 ready for the big time now?
