Issue #16608 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).
I agree with @Eregon that we can probably change the return value of ConditionVariable#wait in Ruby 3. As it always returns true currently, it's worthless and nothing should be relying on it.
I can see that changing `Mutex#sleep` to start returning `nil` could break things, though. I think we do need a new method. Maybe `Mutex#sleep_for` or `Mutex#sleep!`.

----------------------------------------
The following program prints `false` on Ruby 1.8, but `true` on Ruby 1.9 or later.
```
require "monitor"
m = Monitor.new
c = m.new_cond
m.synchronize { p c.wait(0.1) }
```
However, it's not critical because most programs check the condition after wait.
