You misunderstood my meaning. I explained this in the JIRA I closed for

These specs are failing right now because they need to - to make them pass
would be incompatible compared to 1.8.7. Since I didn't get any good
consensus on whether we should scrap bug-compatibility I decided to not fix
these. You can see that if you look in our tags
(spec/tags/ruby/core/array/eql_tags.txt in this case), where I've noted all
the bugs that are there for 1.8.7 compatibility.
I think this one is open for debate. It seems like it would be rare
but not impossible for someone to hit this bug, but it doesn't seem
like anybody would write code that depends on the broken behavior. I
have no strong opinion one way or the other.

Yep, I want a large debate on this. I just didn't want to make the
choice without the debate!
