And, from my own experience testing stuff for PickAxe3, work now with  
the maintainers of the Gems you use to make sure they will be  
compatible. As it stands now, about 30-50% of the Gems I've been using  
are not. The changes are mostly trivial, but they'll need to get made.

That's one of the great things about Matz releasing 1.9 as a  
development release: we all get a lot of time to handle the migration.
