FileUtils.getDir(..., ..., true) causes main thread I/O that's hard to spot. We should deprecate the method and eliminate its use.
I've just noticed that FileUtils.getFile is using FileUtils.getDir(..., ..., true) and we have a bunch of consumers of this function!

We could do this as a mentored bug, see how awful the result is, and prioritize based on the results.
