The change has my initials on it, and it was introduced here:

  Name: Collections-dtl.821
  Author: dtl
  Time: 16 February 2019, 6:18:27.925895 pm
  UUID: 9bfa29b3-5e9f-4c61-b19b-e0bb05403589
  Ancestors: Collections-nice.820

  Classes are expected to be unique in the system, but in some cases (e.g. Magma)
  it is also useful to expect a proxy for a class to test equivalent to the
  actual class. Therefore, in SequenceableCollection>>= use #= rather than #==
  for the class comparison.

The discussion on the list was here:
