To be clear: disabling tracker is totally unsupported, and the above
should give you an idea why. Just because you can do a thing, does not
mean it's a good idea. But if you don't use any of these apps, then
maybe you don't care. Your computer!

Same for evolution-data-server. Without that, the shell calendar does
not work, nor does GNOME Calendar. (Evolution the app should be easy to
uninstall; it's not a core part of GNOME.)
