Comment(by tomeu):

 Albert, please don't change the summary of any ticket without at least
 explaining why you are doing so.

 "usb index must not be read/written" looks to me as a duplicate of #4406
 "XO leaves trash on USB sticks".

 This particular ticket is something we might have to do before we can
 completely remove the xapian index from removable devices (in case we
 decide to do so).

 Btw, perhaps you and Gnu would like to send an email to the mailing list
 explaining why  you sound so frustrated? We are surely doing many things
 wrong, and I think the project as a whole can grow if you expose your
 issues in a more constructive way.

 But if you could explain calmly why you think something is wrong instead
 of just labeling it as "crap" or "trash", then I think your ideas would
 reach us much more efficiently.

 Thanks!
