It was retired a few days ago.

It depends on:

* How many packages are supported by Ruby 1.9.3 only?

	I do not check exactly Ruby 1.9.3 only packages yet.

* Maintenance cost of Ruby 1.9.3 package.

	It is not high currently.

	Ruby 2.0.0 has well backward compatibility with 1.9.3 and
	there are few rubygem packages needs Ruby 2.0.0 and later.

So, I think we do not need to hasten removing Ruby 1.9.3.

Best regards.
