That was not entirely clear from previous emails in this thread. In that
case, please explain *what* t-s-t is, what t-s-t *does* and *why* t-s-t is
so important that we should replace working code with it. Those are the
things people need to know, not that you believe it does a better, faster,
fitter, healthier, more productive job.

So, if Tracker doesn't do indexing as a priority, and doesn't cover similar
ground to Beagle, why are you positioning it as a choice? Why don't we just
use Beagle, which has already shipped with various distributions?
