"no one in the Rails community has the slightest interest in yesterday" I think this is pretty disrespectful. The deprecation warnings and online documentation didn't magically appear. For example this section "upgrading to 3.2" from the official docs: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/3_2_release_notes.html#upgradi...

I'm personally very thankful for all of the hard work the community has done to help us upgrade.

If you have found pieces of the upgrading puzzle that are missing, then please consider contributing back. 2.3 > 3 is the hardest one. It gets a lot easier.

That's not much of an example; to say that it barely scratches the surface, in all its seven-paragraph glory, is to be if anything excessively kind. This is unfortunately typical of the Rails community's attitude toward these matters; you may safely assume that, were there anything remotely resembling sufficient documentation available, I would not feel the need to utter complaints such as those above -- if I have anywhere given the erroneous impression that I enjoy hacking my way through this horrible triple-canopy jungle, without so much as a sketch map, please allow me at this juncture to disabuse you of the notion!

I have no knowledge as to what you think of triple canapés, but I do get a strong feeling of entitlement from you. You also seem to disregard a whole bunch of people(like me for example) that didn't experience as much pain as you. As well as the people that have dedicated their time to write deprecation warnings and documentation, recording videos etc..

Worst case, your app is exceptionally hard to upgrade and I feel for your effort.
