    Description

      Puppet (the gem) currently supports ruby 2.3 and up, but 2.3 and 2.4 are EOL (https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2020/04/05/support-of-ruby-2-4-has-ended/). We should drop those versions in puppet 7, remove monkey patches relating to older versions, and reduce our CI testing matrix. Also drop distinction between Bignum and Fixnum (they were unified as Integer in 2.4).

      Bolt already requires 2.5

      JRuby 9.2 supports ruby 2.5 so that shouldn't affect puppetserver. /cc maggie, justin
