Hmmm.  If you're working on a Rails project with RSpec 2 (which I'm not, but 
I'm guessing that will be a very common case), you need 1.8.7 anyway, as Rails 
3 won't run on anything less.  If you're not using Rails, I can't imagine 
anyone starting a new project on 1.8.6 now.  (All my new stuff is on 1.9.2.)

Is 1.8.6 support in RSpec 2 *really* necessary?  Any thoughts from anyone?

Cheers
