Hello all,
As a ~25 year user and sometime contributor to Cygwin, I support Cygwin here at
my place of work. Does anyone know why we are deploying Ruby 2.6 which EOL
about 18 months ago?
https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/
I'm concerned about proliferation of EOL versions of Ruby in case some security
risk / 0Day is identified.
Please advise.

If nobody has responded I can give a generic response:
"Because cygwin is all volunteer and someone has not volunteered,
or did volunteer and is behind, or fell off the radar."
Someone else will know how to look up if there is a currently
registered volunteer for Ruby ...
