Hmm, no I just say that Tracker is a good idea and still not mature.
Epiphany *could* use something like Tracker.
The original idea is to use SQLite, but since Tracker could be in
Gnome in the near future, it can be used instead.

So the line is: Epiphany (and possibly others) could use something
*like* Tracker, but I would prefer to delay that magic until Tracker
is a littler more mature (like for 2.20?).

I like chicken and eggs on sandwiches.
