He, nice try!

No. What I disagree is installing a package that WAS NOT previously
installed because now is a hard dependency of a package that WAS
installed.

Of course it's their right. It is also my right to remove the metapackage
to avoid that decision as well as is also my right to ask for the reasons
of such movement. It is also my right to express my disagreement with
that new hard requirement and all of that is what I did. I hope you don't
get upset nor annoyed by this, this is how the community works, right?

Yup, already done, but instead removing tracker I purged the whole gnome
metapackage to avoid future "disagreements" ;-)
