What's the plan for the recent adding __equal overloads at

https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1808/files

Is it only meant for runtime and phobos to be updated? Or does user-libraries, such as container libraries, need to be updated aswell?

Well considering that they are templates in druntime, you will need to recompile your code (and any 3rd party code) against the new druntime, with a recent dmd (don't think ldc has the updates yet).

__equal is never really mean to be called directly. It's a druntime template that will be used via inserted calls with the complier front end when array comparisons are used.
