It is perfectly normal that an indexing tool is especially active when building an initial index. Whoever doesn't have the patience to wait Beagle should be an OPTION not a preset thing .
I would think very few people using Opensuse on the desktop either at work or at home do not need Beagle and prefere a faster more responsive machine to one that is faffing around building an unwanted index of some form . Again, I strongly doubt that; few people are properly organized (I'm not), otherwise Google Desktop wouldn't be the success it is.
Before this goes on and on like the opensuse@ thread, I propose that I (being someone interested in the beagle decision and somewhat responsible for its packaging) put together a summary of the issues real/perceived, known bugs and a list of the options. I should be able to do this sometime next week.
One note is that there really hasn't been a precedent for discussing distro changes like this in public, its generally been up to "the powers that be" - either the team leads or developers at Novell for various components or coolo/aj to make this decision so this is kind of a change.
Haven't forgotten about this, just got real busy, will follow up soon.
