Because we didn't think this functionality part of core.  We also
wanted to remove friction; both core dev friction caused by our having
to ripple changes out into a code base few of us knew much about and
then friction for the trans/index maintainers as the only way for them
to get their changes in was by going via a committer.

Up to this, build it yourself unfortunately.  A one-size fits all
scalable, secondary indexing soln. is a bit of an undertaking it
seems.
