It's not just in Rails' own tests. It's actually in ActiveSupport::TestCase, which means that if you have mocha installed, it's getting loaded whether you use it or not. http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/660fc93942697b74a8093d4d5338d1ced25cbe7f/activesupport/lib/active_support/test_case.rb Generally speaking, this should really not be a problem. But there are those odd cases where a conflict may arise because both rspec-mocks and mocha add methods to object to support partial mocking/stubbing on any object. It happens that they use different method names. But, for example, if we wanted to alias :should_receive with :expects in RSpec to give it more of mocha's flavor, we'd be definitely be risking some unpleasant behaviour.
