No, many of our core applications depend on tracker to be able to see
files, and others (e.g. nautilus) use tracker to make search not take
forever. I don't think we'll support running without tracker anytime
soon. If someone wants to work on splitting little-used GStreamer
plugins into subpackages or sandboxing tracker miners (e.g. maybe with
SELinux?) that would be a more practical way forward.

Anyway, let's also mention the bright side of this: Chris says Fedora
is now way harder to exploit than Ubuntu, thanks to our new hardening
flags. So kudos to the folks who pushed that forward recently.
