The talk in the ruby thread about dropping HPPA from the Lenny architectures

if not, when a decision is likely? I have several HPPA machines in
production and really need to know if I need to start looking at replacing
them.
I haven't seen anything definite yet.
Some work is still progressing.
If it's worth anything, I could care less if Ruby is dropped from Lenny on
HPPA. It's certainly more valuable to keep the port without it. Can the
popcon data be looked at to see if there are 50 HPPA users on machines
without ruby installed? If so, it would seem to me that the port is worth
keeping regardless.
Agreed. Someone just suggested that too.
I don't know if I should care about ruby1.9 or things that depend on it
since I'm not aware of any dependency.
