Otherwise, a default "emerge gnome" ends up with people needing to enable tracker USE flag for other packages like media-plugins/grilo-plugins. Then we should:
- Enable "tracker" USE flag if we are willing to use and install tracker by default.
- Drop the "+tracker" from gnome-extra-apps ebuild

In my case I am using tracker without issues for ages... but maybe it depends on the performance of the computer :/

I have no problem with enabling tracker by default but I have honestly no idea how it performs on machines pre-2011.
