Debian is apparently switching to plocate as the the default
locate/mlocate provider [0], a bit faster and more disk-efficient.
Would it make sense to do the same in Fedora?
I prepared a package [1, 2]. The code seems nice and clean enough.
I'd be happy to take it through review, but I'm not particular keen
on long-term maintenance…
