If others want to use later features of Ruby, then it is not our fault, as we fall back to the adherence to semantic versioning on the part of the Ruby community
Tom: The reality for Hyrax is that, if a Gem drops support for Ruby 2.4, that has little impact on the community's ability for the latest Ruby version
Solution bundle then can't support the latest until all of the Gem dependencies can support the latest Ruby version
Delay time on getting support in for the latest Ruby versions is important for Gem dependencies
Mark: We still can look to call for support from the community in order to bring support for later Ruby versions for Gems
Bess: Ruby versions do drop support for methods (e. g. they don't exist anymore)
