Interestingly, several of the failures in Ruby 1.8.7 were found by JRuby 
developers. We tried to make several of the changes in JRuby and they 
broke tests and Rails itself. JRuby developers should not be finding and 
reporting bugs in Ruby releases.

The Ruby core team should consider instituting more stringent 
regression-testing policies.
