I mentioned about fragility just because that will be an issue for
Ruby 2.0.  For MRI replacing core methods affect less, just because
core functionality is done by C functions.  But implantation like
Rubinius suffers more.  I think we will soon need to start discussing
separating/protecting core implementation from user code by some kind
of namespaces or packages.
