Please don't, see: svenfuchs/rails-i18n#1130 (comment)

I think minitest-rails is in a different situation than rails-i18n, since it aims to release with the same major and minor version as the Rails version it supports.

Just an observation, because the commit doesn't say why. But the most recent activity like this chose to use < [next major version].0.0 as the upper bound.

@blowmage What would you prefer here? < 8.1.0, < 9.0.0 or no upper limit at all?

@pdobb the comment right below that one does explain why: "This upper dependency require to do the same dance every few years [list of PRs] That prevent people from trying Rails release candidates etc. It's just a bad pattern."
An upper limit causes needless delay and churn when things don't actually need a change. Let's assume we remove the upper constraint and Rails 9 comes out as an example:
- If nothing breaks with minitest-rails: great! No PR/gem release needed to unblock apps to upgrade to the newest version of Rails. This is an improvement over the current way.
- If something breaks with minitest-rails: we'll wait for a new release to fix it. This is the same as today.
In my app's Gemfile I can pin specific versions if I know that works better for my situation, but I can't override the upper constraint as easily.

RuboCop recommends these changes now that we’re on Ruby 3.2+.

Not sure this is a good idea because it won't work with JRuby
Rails 8.0.0 was released a few days ago.
Fixes #257
