Plone 5.2 does no longer install a Language index...bug or feature?

Installing plone.app.multilingual sets up the Language index.

plone/plone.app.multilingual/blob/master/src/plone/app/multilingual/profiles/default/catalog.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="portal_catalog" meta_type="Plone Catalog Tool">

  <index name="Language" meta_type="FieldIndex">
    <indexed_attr value="Language"/>
  </index>
  <column value="Language"/>

  <index name="TranslationGroup" meta_type="FieldIndex">
    <indexed_attr value="TranslationGroup"/>
  </index>
  <column value="TranslationGroup"/>

</object>

Gently, I would call it a feature. In monolingual sites the index is just dead ballast. So, there are probably use-cases where someone needs it w/o p.a.multilingual. If its related to an alternative add-on I would suggest to make the add-on to set it up on its own.

Mea culpa...
