"We know this because it's what they did with asp.net. An application built on asp.net 1.0 will work on 4.8" . Yep, up to the point where they replaced the framework and called it .net core.
You can also keep running Rails 3 for 20 more years if you want btw.
We generally agree that .net is more stable than Rails though, your point is correct.

While I understand your point, not on a modern OS you can't. You literally can't build the tools necessary to run it on a modern OS. I know because I've had to deal with this many many times. You literally are forced to run that stack on a version of ruby that's EOL and on an OS that's EOL.
I mean yes, you CAN do that, just like you can run Windows Server 2000, but it's really really not a good idea.
