Hi,
 FWIW, as the maintainer of a project (Rygel) which started as a UPnP
wrapper around Tracker an year and half ago, I don't think Tracker has
yet proven itself worthy of being part of GNOME. Don't get me wrong,
Tracker has been improving a lot lately and so far I really love the
new 0.7 API but since most distros are still shipping 0.6 Tracker,
currently writing an app on top of Tracker is only getting into a big
mess of confusion.

The transition 0.6 -> 0.7 is going to be equally difficult in 6 months, and this delay would stop everything without any obvious benefit. The new tracker is in good shape for applications, and we should make it available for them as soon as possible.
