It's a bit hysterical.
Shit! MRI/YARV/REE are inherently fatally flawed! All that code I have running in production must be a FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION! SAVE YOURSELVES

Obviously all non-trivial code working in production not only can have bugs, but will have bugs. Just as obviously, no reasonable person would consider those "fatal flaws" for any reasonable definition of the word fatal.
MRI/YARV's Conservative GC opens up some bedevilling classes of bugs for gem writers, obviously. Calling that a "fatal flaw" when millions of lines of production code continue to function despite its presence is nothing but over-the-top hyperbole.
(EDIT: I guess people don't like unpopular views at all, that's fine, long live jokes, forget the facts.)
