RFC: cataloging and custom catalogs

Hi there,

I' wondering about custom catalog and content using it.

Example :
    I have created "my_catalog"
    then NewContent have this in its schema :
       TheField("fieldName",
                index = "my_catalog/FieldIndex",
                ...

Currently when adding the Product with quickinstaller,
my_catalog gets no content until it is registerer in archetype_tool.
Which can be done from Extensions/Install.py with :

    at_tool.setCatalogsByType(meta_type, ('my_catalog',))

Question:
    Why 'my_catalog' is not added automatically? (this leads to a long
    tracking for new users of this feature like me)

    Is it desirable that this is done automatically by setting the
catalog list
    of types using custom catalogs to :

      - ('portal_catalog', 'custom_catalog') + any other custom catalog used
        in other fields...

Regards
