Since I don't subscribe debian-user and there are no debian-ruby list yet,
so I'd like to hear from ruby programers or ruby script/library package
maintainers first.

Yeah, I will.
I'm wondering that some problems in 1.6.7 have potential security issues,
such as Thread.status singal bug, Queue#pop race condition bug, Dir.glob
bug and so on.
Anyway, is it worth to upgrade to 1.6.8 or backporting from 1.6.8 for stable?
Or are most ruby programer using unstable? :-)
