I don't think it's a bad thing. Ruby 1.9.1 needs to go. There are a number of bugs and quirks in 1.9.1 which have been fixed in 1.9.2. E.g. while developing Phusion Passenger I've noticed some VM deadlock bugs, all of which are now fixed.
I agree, but I don't think Ruby 1.9.2 is slated for release until the end of August.
1.9.2 release plan, for those who missed it:
- 31 Mar. freeze the spec
- 30 Apr. freeze the code
- 31 May. release 1.9.2-preview2
- 30 Jun. release 1.9.2-rc
- 31 Jul. release 1.9.2-p0
