Subject: [ruby-core:49652] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7375] embedding libyaml in psych for Ruby 2.0


Issue #7375 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).


My only concern for bundling third party library is that leaving behind unmaintained after years.
So give me a promise that Aaron will keep it for foreseeable future. Then I will trust him.

Feature #7375: embedding libyaml in psych for Ruby 2.0
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7375#change-33169

Target version: 2.0.0


People have a hard time using psych (and thus rubygems) because it depends on libyaml. We can ease upgrades by embedding libyaml in order to eliminate the library dependency.

libyaml is MIT license, so it shouldn't impact Ruby's license.

Matz, may I embed libyaml for preview2?
