[ruby-core:69179] [Ruby trunk - Feature #5480] remove GServer from stdlib

Issue #5480 has been updated by Hal Brodigan.


For those that absolutely need to use GServer, it's also available on rubygems.

* https://rubygems.org/gems/gserver
* https://rubygems.org/gems/rubysl-gserver

However, GServer isn't being maintained, so users should migrate to an alternative or write their own threaded TCP server as needed.

I propose removing the gserver library from Ruby's stdlib.

People should not use it for the following reasons:

* It has no tests at all.
* It does something completely different than it claims to do (the docs say it manages a thread pool, while in reality it creates a new thread for every incoming connection).
* It is not maintained.

For instance, Net::HTTPServer (https://github.com/postmodern/net-http-server) uses GServer for concurrency. Removing GServer and just serving one request at a time improves performance drastically.
