They could gain in productivity and ease of support
You're implying that python is more productive than ruby? I've never heard that claim before.

Because it's a phrasal verb with multiple meanings: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/turn-...
Right. The OP's comment made it seem like there are only two definitions of that phrase(neither of which applied to my example): "turn on" is either "sexually attracted to" or "suddenly attack"

Wow, completely agree. They just need to rename the environment variable into something like RAILS_VERSION instead, as suggested by several commenters in that issue. Such a simple fix, I don't understand why they won't do that.
There are two problems with your statement 1) VERSION is a horrible name for a non-transient environment variable. It's fine if you're just using it on a per command basis (as rails does with 'rake db:migrate VERSION=123') but some app has stuck a ridiculously generic word into a global namespace. 2) (trivial) RAILS_VERSION would make no sense because it's the migration number you want to set your database too.

Minor grammar Nazi point (since you mention you are Italian, and might be interested) - "turn on" is either "sexually attracted to" or "suddenly attack", depending on the context. i.e. "She turned me on, the smell of cigarettes is not a turn-on for me, the dog suddenly turned on me and started biting". I've no idea why ... You mean "turned to".
