I am not asking anyone to not add beagle support - indeed I am adding 
optional beagle support to tracker so that tracker can be proposed and 
can be used with either its internal indexer or beagle's indexer (which 
I think is a fairer option than having Beagle only or Tracker only).


Tracker has support in Nautilus and Deskbar - please make your own 
judgements from its performance in those apps. (apologies if I was 
sounding arrogant wrt tracker)
