I agree, that makes perfect sense.

I thought the index you were talking about was a client-side cache of the
package information on the server. If it is just an index of metadata of
installed packages, then I agree that 40MB/700 = 4MB/70 = ~50KB per package
is nothing to worry about. 

Where is the UI spec for pkg(5)? Is the UI frozen?
