 ### 3. Update Ruby
 
-We will continue supporting Ruby < 2.3 for the time being but we recommend you
-upgrade to Ruby 2.3 if you're running a source installation, as this is the same
-version that ships with our Omnibus package.
+NOTE: GitLab 9.0 only supports Ruby 2.3.x and dropped support for Ruby 2.1.x. Be
+sure to upgrade your interpreter if necessary.
 
 You can check which version you are running with `ruby -v`.
