It's a bit a shame that there isn't any default good indexing system for

Now there is also a inotify implementation and tools to set up watchers

so why are we still mainly stuck with locate and the expensive updatedb?
Are there other problems with the inotify approach maybe or just lack of
developer interest?
Great idea, though I thought inotify doesn't suit this task. For updatedb,
it should call inotify_watch for every file on the filesystem, that's
quite inefficient.
I think Linux's audit system could do this, though.
