I'll take care of it.

Right, it needs some more days. CI reported regressions, which I believe
are unrelated to the issue and hand the fix. As of now it should migrate
within five days.

Regarding the test: I'll seek comments of the Ruby team before filling
the -pu; I believe the risk of regressions should be fairly low, as
arel, as described, has been part of activerecord since quite some time.
I'll test this especially in combination with schleuder, which exposed
this issue; to ease future maintenance and increase the chances of
spotting these issues earlier, ideally before release, I added a
"piuparts multi distro upgrade" test job to the Salsa CI [1].

I'll keep this bug updated.

Cheers,
Georg
