Yes, this is why I said Philip could go ahead with this change. I plan
on releasing some time this week.

I would like to wait a few days to see if any major issues come up.
Friday we added code to kill tracker-extract if it doesn't respond over
dbus and we also improved the way we get statistics from the database
(since we weren't including parent services (like "Files" and
"Conversations" and "Emails", etc). I would like to make sure this is
given a few days to circulate and see if anything major comes up.
