Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2012-03-27 18:28:59 UTC 
As explained in debian report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=663921

mongrel stopped being actively developed in 2007, and upstream just says
use $alternative instead. It has no reverse dependencies, and using e.g.
thin in its place is trivial.

Looks like all packages needing it in the tree are optional deps

Do you agree with treecleaning it?

Reproducible: Always

No.

I'm using it on a daily basis. When we run into security issues or when the package breaks with new ruby features we can consider removing it.
