Issue #20350 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).
+1, I was thinking the same yesterday, that we could revisit `Symbol#to_s` and have a
proper deprecation before changing it due to chilled strings landing.

Feature #20350: Return chilled string from Symbol#to_s
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20350#change-107348
* Author: Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme)
* Status: Open
----------------------------------------
During Ruby 2.7 development there was an attempt to return a frozen string from
Symbol#to_s (#16150#note-22)
This had to be rolled back due to incompatibility, but now we have chilled strings
(#20205)
Symbol#to_s can safely return a chilled string, giving developers time to fix warnings
before switching to a frozen string.
