Try it. :-)

No, did they not. The mlocate updatedb code had broken bind mount detection
after the switch from /etc/mtab to /proc/mountinfo, which specifically broke

Please stop misrepresenting the issue. plocate isn't broken with btrfs,
but you can configure btrfs subvolumes in a way such that plocate
(and basically any other tool that tries to skip bind mounts) will not work
in the default configuration.
