Ruby EOL in Cygwin 3.4.9?

[Hendrickson, Eric D]

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?

I'm concerned about proliferation of EOL versions of Ruby in case some security risk / 0Day is identified.

Please advise.
