I am wondering, why would one ever use “skip” now as opposed to using
this
new exclude feature?

I did too. It is so that the jruby project can run ruby-core tests w/o
modifying them.

Short story: we want to run MRI’s tests without modifying them.
excludes provide us a way to have our own isolated list of test
methods to exclude.

I expect this would be useful for any large API’s test suite you want
to incrementally support while maintaining a “high water” mark of
currently-passing tests.
