Well, as Vassil has pointed out, the tracks do a lot more than just tracking
tags, so they definitely still offer something. Unfortunately they also are
not very accessible to the average user.

This type of question is part of the reason that I created ESME-285 (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ESME-285) in Release 1.2, so that we
can make the decision to turn something like Tracks off by default, but
leave it in the code base. I'm not saying that is necessarily the right
decision here, but it is an option.

Regarding lists of things being tracked, we need to figure out a reasonable
item-tracking-management interface so that people can see everything they
are following in one place and manage it. Maybe that is what "Tracks" should
become eventually? I think that's a little ways off (maybe not Release 1.2
material), but definitely an interesting UI challenge.
