Are we talking about the tracker crawler or tracker itself (index and
metadata storage)?

I can understand how including the crawler is not the best idea
(especially until we get ourselves recursive inotify support) but what
can go wrong with tracker itself?

Also, distros shipping outdated code is not a valid argument. Some
distros are still shipping GNOME 2.24 but we still did allow the
maintainers to ship 2.28.0, right? ;)
