Hmm, but that's not really a "breakage" in ruby, it's more an aesthetic argument over which objects should have which logic. It's like naming things. Smalltalk (& ruby) has 'select'. Everyone else uses 'filter'.
To some, 5.times seems very readable & logical. It's like arguing over the "right" colour scheme to use while coding (BTW, the correct answer is solarised light, but with black foreground text!!)
