We have hopefully not broken any methods on RubyArray or RubyHash that 
you're using; let us know if we have. Our intention has always been to 
keep methods available until we deprecate them for several revisions, 
though we occasionally slip up.

I think the performance improvements and bug fixes alone will be worth 
making the move at any rate.
