> - Ruby 1.8 is EOL, and is even security issues aren't addressed anymore. 
> - It is also getting hard to set up Ruby 1.8 to run the tests (e.g. on a recent OSX, it won't compile without manual fiddling).
> - Handling character encodings in Ruby 1.9 is very different than Ruby 1.8. Supporting both at the same time adds a lot of overhead.
