I tend to agree about ruby_bug. I think MRI should have to maintain a
set of "tags" just like every other implementation, rather than
getting special treatment from RubySpec.

That said...this is just another way of turning certain tests off when
they're known to fail, so you can maintain the working behaviors in a
green suite.
