Yes, it has been a problem, since it breaks search functions and practically
all other applications of INDEX.

It's unfortunate that the INDEXFILE defaults haven't been changed with the
removal (it's also unfortunate that portsdb -U breaks if INDEXFILE is
overriden in make.conf, but that's a portupgrade bug). It might take a while
until the necessary additional changes have been reviewed - perhaps using
sysutils/portsnap to update your portstree will do as a workaround for the
time being (you get matching indices for each ports update).
