I've been talking to a hosting provider recently about hosting rails apps. We were discussing the issue of system upgrades breaking existing applications (a huge problem with hosted PHP apps). I'd explained that rails gives you the ability to lock an application to a specific version so that the hosting company can freely upgrade their system copy of rails without breaking any deployed apps.

The only place where you could potentially run into problems is when upgrading Ruby itself. I explained that the Ruby language evolves fairly slowly and the chances of them breaking existing rails apps with a new version of the language is fairly low.

Having just said all of that, I see that ruby 1.8.5 has been released and it breaks the breakpointer functionality in rails. Oops.
