Issue #20350 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).
I am in favor of experimenting. I am in favor of moving to immutable strings in the future
if there are no significant incompatibility issues.

Feature #20350: Return chilled string from Symbol#to_s
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20350#change-107979
* 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.
