Subject: [ruby-dev:32167] Thinking of dropping YAML from 1.8

Hello all.

As a branch manager I think I cannot maintain YAML lib any longer. No
one had touched lib/yaml for more than 20 months, while bugs are
reported continuously during that. At this point I cannot but say YAML
has already been abandoned. And I cannot maintain this large library by
myself. It's a real sadness, but it's time for us to drop it from
stdlib, unless someone put in for the maintenance.
