Hi!

Is this still an issue? I'd like to work on it if so but it looks like all the info can be gained from the _changes feed?

> External indexers need an efficient way to detect changes across all databases when they boot up. The _all_dbs endpoint only lists the names. We propose adding include_seqs=true which would return this style output instead;
> [ {"name":"db1","update_seq",5000}, {"name":"db2","update_seq",2500} ]
> this would allow an external indexer to skip any database that has not changed.
> As external indexers often store their configuration changes inside design documents, it might also be helpful if the update_seq of the latest change to any design document was also included. This will allow external indexers to skip even databases with changes as long as those changes are not to design documents;
> [ {"name":"db1","update_seq",5000, "ddoc_update_seq":23}, {"name":"db2","update_seq",2500, "ddoc_update_seq":2500} ]
