There are a few very angry, emotional, and vocal opponents of this in most corners of the internet, although very few of them actually make a million dollars and there are many million+ income people supporting this.

Demographically, there are over 3 million households in WA, and only 20k of them would be affected.

They have murdered people in broad daylight and allowing many more to suffer and even die in their facilities.

People are not being hysterical, and the people who are downplaying or ignoring this are showing that they are in fact evil.

For a more concrete example, the grpc gem locks Ruby versions (< 3.5), and they refuse to change it. So until they support the next Ruby version, we could test ruby-next by testing with a preview release. This worked for 3.4 and 3.5, but now doesn't work with 4.0 (bundler resolves 4.0-preview2 > 3.5, whereas we are able to do 3.5-preview1).

So unless I feel like doing a lot of grunt work (which I don't), I can't even test Ruby 4 in our app until they release a new version. And while I recognize this is an issue with the gem, it is a consequence of choosing to do 4.0.
