I hope this is corect - i do agree it has been a long and slow migration path and migrating is fairly easy - migrating python 2 to 3 code was fairly easy as well anyone could do it in their codebase, it remains a big deal and possibly very impactful to make such breaking changes to the behavior of primitives in mature ecosystems. How many gems does the average rails app have, okay they all need to be updated and they sohld be being updated for other reasons, I remain skeptical of how smooth the change is going to be over all ecosystem wise but time will tell.

I agree it has been a well advertised and loudly migration path and timeframe for it
