Ruby is in oe-core only because it's needed by webkit.

As an oe-core maintainer, I think the bar for adding stuff to oe-core 
should be higher than "it's popular" or "various existing layers are 
causing duplication of effort and aren't cooperating". The more things 
we have to support, the less time there is to do a good job with any 
specific item.
