rlocate vs. mlocate

[Nathan Grennan]

  I have seen locate be replace by slocate, which has now been replace 
with mlocate. mlocate seems nice and all, but why aren't we moving to 
rlocate. Sometime in the last few months I got the impression that 
mlocate would do what rlocate does. Recently I have been using mlocate 
and with the impression it was like rlocate I was very disappointed with 
the results. It seemed broken. Today I investigated the reality and 
found mlocate is just an incremental improvement on slocate, but still 
only runs daily. rlocate seems like the ultimate solution with it's use 
of inotify for real time results.

  Why isn't Fedora moving to rlocate? Hopefully it isn't a case of not 
invented here, since I notice the mlocate author is a Red Hat employee.
