Given you say this with a smiley - I think it is *good* to get rid of
the bugs this way. One of my personal gripes with the Ruby culture is
that it's quite based on the "throw many new ideas at the problem,
then discard all the worse ones" mindset. We currently have a good
amount of cruft piling up. And this is a good opportunity to clean up
things that should just go - Packages which have low popcon scores, no
reverse dependencies, and start getting build errors (that usually
means, are no longer compatible with Ruby's main version, 1.9.1).
