The new bulk-index-free API is in rubygems/spec_fetcher.rb

OK, I'd like to clarify a few things about the latest version:
1. Should ANY [local] queries via the API should go through
spec_fetcher.rb?
No, they still use Gem.source_index. See
Gem::Commands::QueryCommand#execute.
2. Should there be any reason to directly use SourceIndex anymore, or
should it be considered private?
Gem::SourceIndex is ok to use, but Gem::SourceInfoCache and
Gem::SourceInfoCacheEntry will be going away eventually (probably in 2
years or so).
3. Should all this work the same for the on-the-fly servers (quick
index is the right term?) as well as servers with generated
specs.4.8.gz/latest_specs.4.8.gz?
Both `gem server` and `gem generate_index` now produce specs.4.8.gz
and latest_specs.4.8.gz, and they also produce all the legacy
indexes. If there's a server without the new indexes all the sources
should drop back to using the legacy indexes (and print out a warning).
