Tracker is an approved dependency for Gnome like Firefox - it is not
part of the Gnome desktop or platform and thus does not need to follow
the Gnome schedule (Firefox does not). In fact if we were following
gnome we should have been in feature freeze months ago!

IMO we should definitely release when we are confident 0.8 is stable and
I still believe  this should be well into next month (say feature freeze
mid april and release end of april to give time for fixing onto, bugs
and translations)
