I fully agree with you.  One of those bugs is mine and I still have yet 
to see a developer respond to it; https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/227280.

The largest problem I have with Strigi is the massive amount of HD space 
it consumes.  On a newer system it took up 25GB which caused my laptop 
not to boot up.  A large number of people have responded to my bug and a 
few people state that Strigi took up over 100GB on their systems.  I 
can't believe something that takes up that much HD space is actually 
installed by default.  I really hope it is not going to be the default 
in 8.10.
