Are there any Ruby on Rails 2.x-3.x apps still running?

Last week, my colleagues and I were discussing whether we could still find a Rails 2.x app running in production. Is this version of Rails extinct?

We've been upgrading and maintaining Rails apps for 13 years, and one of our biggest challenges in this timeframe has been upgrading Rails 2.x apps. Many of them didn’t even use Bundler yet, making the process even trickier. I remember working on apps with vendored gem code, where we had to diff it against public gem repositories just to figure out which version had been modified.
If you have a Rails 2.x-3.x app running in production, reach out to us at appmaintainers.com! I’d be happy to chat.
