I thought I was gonna say: "If applications are not using slocate anymore, why not start using rlocate for
us CLI users? As for tracker usage, I have no opinions."
...but it seems rlocate isn't even in Debian, so someone (me?) would have to
package it first, if possible. Haven't looked into its license, so no idea
whether it can be included at all.
