I can’t seem to find any info on this… when will ruby 1.8.6 be ‘retired’? ruby 1.8.7 is much more functional while maintaining syntax compatibility, and ruby 1.9.1 is significantly better all around… any idea when 1.8.6 will be retired?

I don’t think any versions of Ruby are ever formally retired. Things like Rails will eventually become incompatible, but older versions are always available.
People will continue using older versions of Ruby for a while. Forcing an upgrade is never easy.
