I've trying to look at this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572722
I think an option is simply to create a rails2.3 package. I realize this probably less than ideal, but the only real solution I see for the problem. Thoughts?

Well, I don't oppose to making parallel-installable rails 2.3.x related packages on EPEL itself.
However I don't know if EPEL's policy allows such decision like "We made rails 2.3.x packages so please use them. Althogh rails 2.1.x is still shipped on EPEL5, well, WONTFIX" (note that I don't know EPEL's policy well). I guess even if rails 2.3.x packages are imported into EPEL5, if bug 572722 is due to bug in rails 2.1.x it should be fixed anyway and so the cause of bug 572722 should be investigated anyway.
