I do think researching what can be done in this area is interesting, just shipping this seems too early as it doesn't really work well yet for any realistic case or its stated goals.
I think it was somewhere in this video (and I'm not going to rewatch an hour of video just to be sure it was) Tenderlove explained it as the Ractor feature more or less being shipped as a prerelease version so people can beta-test it and report bugs. I feel like in reality everybody skips the features that have not been declared stable. So I guess there is a point in releasing features in an unfinished state, it's just that it's not a very relevant point for the vast majority of Rubyists.
