Honestly, I find Rails projects to unupgradeable.

We found it to be easier to just rewrite the project when moving between major versions (Rails 4 to Rails 5 for example). Shoehorning old functionality into a newer Rails just made this inconsistent.

Good call, coming on to a Rails project that's been upgraded—or worse upgraded twice—is... usually very unpleasant.
