Comment (by Clorith):

 @fabricecanel Totally agree, this should not be something a user needs to
 enable on their own if it gets added. Some things that need clarifying
 still remain though:

 While pingomatic is a service that just tells indexers "there's new
 content, go crawl that site", you are proposing a more direct interaction
 where you tell the indexers "_here_ is a piece of new content to look at".
 There are some concerns that need addressed in regards to this.

 As @desrosj mentioned, is this an open standard that all indexers have
 freely available to them, and does not require any additional code to
 function? This is important, because core should not have to provide
 special handling depending on which search engine its user favors.

 Is this a centralized thing, if it should just work out of the box, then
 there's multiple search engines out there. There's also the concern of
 legislatures that watch for monopoly-benefiting actions, and might view
 WordPress catering to the big search engines, while the small ones aren't
 hard-coded in because core doesn't know of them as preventing them from
 having a fair advantage (I am not a lawyer, so this bit is just a
 potential concern I think we need ot be vary of in cases like these).
