yes, that would be weird, but that's not our situation.  what we have 
are third party products that overrode the _initIndexes and 
_createTextIndexes methods, but which depend on the base class's 
__init__ and manage_afterAdd methods, respectively, to trigger them. 
GenericSetup obsoletes these calls for CMFPlone's CatalogTool, but 
causes breakage in the third party products that depended upon the old 
initialization calls.
