Hello,

I find out that ruby 1.8, 2.1 and 2.2 are all EOL. Do we still intend to
support them (say because they are needed in web development)? If so, I
think we should provide security updates.

I have look into Debian LTS support[0]. For 1.8, the LTS support has
gone as Debian old old stable[1] is no longer supported since May. For
2.1, it will be supported til 2020 through old stable LTS
support[2]. For 2.2, the package was removed when 2.3 was out[3].

What should we do?

[0]: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
[1]: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ruby1.8
[2]: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ruby2.1
[3]: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ruby2.2

Cheers,
Alex
