yeah I know but existing apps already in Gnome may not depend on mono 
without asking on d-d-l. This is to prevent Mono becoming embedded in 
Gnome such that it cannot be removed later on.

It also means that core apps like Nautilus, Panel and others will never 
be allowed to depend on mono.

So its only a compromise to allow the odd mono app in for stuff where 
there is no equivalent C/python program available. Thats obviously not 
the case wrt Tracker :)

We will be doing emails and logs as soon as I have finished adding the 
new full text indexing framework (which will not use mysql for the full 
text indexing part as its not scalable enough for very large contents 
like millions of emails).

I will post more on this shortly.
