Its the same line of code, I was avoiding from_installed_gems because of the
*deprecated parameter, which at the moment I wrote the snippet I was thinking
was meaning the method was deprecated instead of just the parameter. 

Snippet:

   Gem::SourceIndex.from_gems_in( *Gem::SourceIndex.installed_spec_directories )

Gem::SourceIndex.from_installed_gems:

  def from_installed_gems(*deprecated)
    if deprecated.empty?
      from_gems_in(*installed_spec_directories)
    else
      from_gems_in(*deprecated) # HACK warn
    end 
  end 

So if the method is still around, but the usage with a parameter is deprecated
then yes, using Gem::SourceIndex.from_installed_gems would be more forward
compatible.

enjoy,
