should we propose a new section for ruby?

[Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.or.jp>]

I've noticed Bug#269180 requesting pike section.

We have more ruby packages than pike and ruby packages seems to be
comparable to gnome and kde, so should we propose a new section
for ruby?

 $ grep-available -FPackage -sPackage pike|wc -l
 84
 $ grep-available -FPackage -sPackage ruby|wc -l
 278

 $ grep-available -FSection -sPackage gnome|wc -l
 295
 $ grep-available -FSection -sPackage kde|wc -l
 246
