According to https://endoflife.software/programming-languages/server-side-scripting/ruby
ruby 2.4 will go end-of-life in march, where the new release of nixpkgs
will be cut. We won't be able to support it for security updates.
Remove all references to ruby_2_4 and add ruby_2_7 instead where
missing.
Mark packages that depend on ruby 2.4 as broken:
* chefdk
* sonic-pi
There ver very many conflicts, basically all due to
name -> pname+version. Fortunately, almost everything was auto-resolved
by kdiff3, and for now I just fixed up a couple evaluation problems,
as verified by the tarball job. There might be some fallback to these
conflicts, but I believe it should be minimal.

PHP 7.1 is currently on life support, as in only recieving security related patches.
This will only continue until: 2019-12-01
This date are in the middle of the 19.09 lifecycle. So it would be
nice to not have it in the 19.09 stable release. Dropping it now would
also result in less maintanance in updating them.
The death dates can be seen on following links:
