Yep, I can be the champion for the tool removal.

+0.5. It's a good idea but it'll probably mean a lengthy upgrade step. 
If we do it we should consider giving FieldIndex and KeywordIndex the 
ability to automatically decode bytes as utf8 while indexing.

Also we should review whether we really need all our catalog indexes. 
For example right now we have id and getId which is just silly.

I think adding small tasks to the CMFPlone tracker is good, even if 
there is a separate tracker for the sprint.
