Ruby is in oe-core only because it's needed by webkit.
As an oe-core maintainer, I think the bar for adding stuff to oe-core
should be higher than "it's popular" or "various existing layers are
causing duplication of effort and aren't cooperating". The more things
we have to support, the less time there is to do a good job with any
specific item.
