It appears to be a little more confused than that.  In 8.x and 7.2, the
list of filesystems that are actually searched are "ufs ext2fs zfs".
The comment in the default /etc/locate.rc lists those, and also xfs.

The real problem seems to be that /etc/locate.rc seems to be missed by
mergemaster, and so updates to it aren't being picked up.  However, from
a quick inspection, I can't see why.

I think it would be a good idea to file a PR so that this doesn't get
lost.
