Its a grey area - vala compiles into C code and there are no runtime
bindings. (Obviously thats not the case with other languages which
require runtime bindings)

Its a bit like saying yacc cant be used in Gnome when it can

anyway a fair amount of sparql depends on vala so we cant strip it out
easily

worst case is tracker is allowed as an external dependency
