Description

According to ​https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ The current stable version is 3.3.5

Can we make ruby a meta package that always links to the stable version?

Ruby 3.3.5 is available in the ruby33 port. Renaming the current ruby port to ruby18 isn't a bad idea, but the name can't be reused as a metapackage for at least a year to give users time to pick up the replacement when they upgrade.
