Yeah, tracker is a required dependency of gnome-documents now. As Bastien says, we should try to identify and fix possible bugs and resource issues upstream.
I don't see why tracker or any such daemon should ever be a required package, or that one should not be able to uninstall it without taking much of Gnome with it.
I have no problems with it being used in the default gnome-shell setup,
On a related note, I had thought the concerns of people that gnome-shell did not have a simple to find way of shutting down the computer as an over reaction. Now that it has also been removed from the GDM setup has made me change my mind. Is the prefered method of shutting down the computer pressing the hardware's power button? What if I just want to just reboot another OS?
