True.  Its definitely a tradeoff.  In the 2 years that rake has been around 
this hasn't seemed to be a major issue.  The next version of Rake will make 
them private by default to further reduce the possibility of conflict.

If you want to try a beta version (0.5.0.1) of Rake with private FileUtils 
methods, you can do this:

  gem update rake --source http://onestepback.org/betagems
