I think it makes sense (why default to the older, slower implementation?), but just like Debian, I think we should not install locate by default to begin with. See Josh Triplett's arguments which I can only fully second: https://lwn.net/ml/debian-devel/YB+FvRPtuJmroUTT@localhost/ > I prepared a package [1, 2].
