buster: going from ruby2.3 straight to ruby2.5?



Hi,

Now that we are very close to the releaase of stretch, we should
probably start thinking about what's next.

We are now more or less 6 months from the release of Ruby 2.5, and I was
thinking whether it makes sense for us to transition to Ruby 2.4 and
then transition again to Ruby 2.5.

In general, I think we could do with
a single Ruby transition per Debian cycle ... I can think of the following advantages:

- we have a chance of providing upstream with feedback about the version
  of Ruby that we will ship in Debian before that version is released

- we will only need to handle all of the small issues that a transition
  entails once (instead of twice)

Can anyone think of a good reason to not go straight to 2.5, starting
ASAP after the release with a pre-release ruby2.5?

Happy stretching,
