Rails - Jun 2009 - adding a prerequisite first to db:reset

I''m wondering if there was a better way to do this:

I want to add a prerequisite check to the db:reset rails task so that if 
we''re in production mode, the user has to add an additional environment
variable for it to run (yes, I *know* users shouldn''t even be on 
production machines, but in this case it''s worth it).

What I found I had to do was:

- added a task for the check:
namespace :fp do
  task :check_for_production_flag => :environment do
    raise "Boom!" unless RAILS_ENV!=''production'' ||
ENV[''production'']
  end
end

- added a dependency for db:reset:
namespace :db do
  task :reset => ["fp:check_for_production_flag"]
end

And then, most importantly, had to change Rakefile so that the rake file 
with the above items was loaded *before* "require
''tasks/rails''".

This *may* be because db:reset is actually an empty task and 
accomplishes its work through its 3 prerequisites.

Did I have any alternative to doing it this way?

Thanks,

dwh
