Thank you for taking care of Ruby :-)

I can start this branch on Hydra tomorrow or Monday (it's busy
currently).  If there are no regressions, it should be safe to merge.

We need to synchronize the build farms until users have migrated to
Berlin, since many users probably only have Hydra still.

PS: Staging is currently at ~3500 rebuilds[*], which is way more than
the usual ~1200 rebuilds.  If there are other heavy-impact patches
pending that does not significantly increase this number, we might be
able to squeeze them in.
