I have seen that Fedora Core uses Red Hat's implementation of 'locate' and 'updatedb', while sticking to GNU's implementation of 'find'. Why is it so? Is there any reason for not using GNU's implementation of 'locate' and 'updatedb' as well, since they alongwith 'find' are part of GNU Findutils (http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils)?
I guess you are talking about using mlocate by default instead of slocate from Fedora Core 5.
