This is not anything that RSpec is doing in any intentional way. rspec-rails does require 'test/unit/assertions' and 'test/unit/assertionfailederror', but not 'test/unit' (top level).

I'd guess it's something to do with rspec-rails generators telling rails to use them for testing, so it also shows you the other testing possibilities. But that's just a guess.
