Yes. Currently Fedora ruby guideline does not have
"BuildRequires: ruby(abi) = 1.8", however this is consistent with
python, perl, .... etc and I think this is needed.
Also another reviewer (who reviewed ruby module packages I maintain)
asked me to do so.

Please read

Actually
* Most people expects that the development package of ice
  is named as ice-devel
* And some people even think that splitting development packages
  are of no means.
