I do not see the problem that we need to do something. Exp-run shows that
everything should be ok.

Put I see the problem for the users of e.g. redmine50.
It will not work for them, if we upgrade to new ruby version.

If we upgrade to new ruby version, they can use the quarterly branch to fix
problems and if we do the change now they will have a grace period of about 8
weeks before redmine50 get unsable.

If you make the ruby change 1-2 weeks before quarterly updates to 2024Q2, they
are under pressure to upgrade redmine to a newer version in this 1-2 week
window (I do not know the upgrade process, but maybe they need to create a
backup using redmine which would not be possible anymore).

In my opinion waiting here just reduces the reaction period for the users.
And most users will get aware of it if the application breaks, not before.
