This new rails version renewed its versioned dependency on ruby-marcel.
The new ruby-marcel version doesn't look like a targeted fix, so it
doesn't fit the freeze policy. If I read the changelog correctly, this
dependency is there to give rails a more relaxed license. I think such a
change is not really needed at this stage of the freeze, does rails
still work with the old version of ruby-marcel and can the version bump
be reverted?
