With my obvious tracker maintainer bias, I support the move. Tracker has been slowly but steadily improving in stability throughout the 1.x series, the common complains about CPU and logging have decreased as well from where I stand. Although I also suggest you have a look at the settings and see if vendor overrides might make sense for your users.
Tracker is heading now to 1.12.x which according to the current plan will be the last 1.x release series (in preparation for 2.x), it will remain feature frozen but still open to stability and performance improvements.
Khurshid: zeitgeist and tracker have little in common. Zeitgeist is about activity tracking, Tracker for these purposes is a filesystem indexer. The usecase being discussed here is nautilus indeed, but having tracker by default could make other gnome apps that strongly rely on Tracker work on Unity, like gnome-music or gnome-documents.
