    2.3.x is still supported, actually they're working on 2.3.9 as we speak.
    It's true that the Rails eco system moves forward at a good pace, but that's a good sign to me. it means ideas are brewing and accepted.
    A sign of good health :)

    A lot of the changes have made the code much more modular. You don't need to include everything if you don't need it. This also allows you to plug in other database adapters if you want. One of the nice routing changes allows you to call Rack or Sinatra applications from within your Rails application. I'm really looking forward to using this going forward.
