All you are asking for is performance. To me, that wasn't the main issue
with Tracker. The key drawbacks of Tracker as storage for contacts are
these:
1. only one address book
2. no support for controlling access
There are real-world scenarios (think mirroring sensitive enterprise or
social web data) were an additional address book is needed, because data
must not be mixed with the "normal" contacts.
You mentioned plans to add access control. Can that be implemented while
retaining the direct read capability and the performance improvement
that you mentioned when announcing that feature? Doesn't look possible
to me.
The other question of course is about the schedule. Access control is
needed for products *now*, not in some distant future. EDS doesn't have
access control either, but I consider it much easier to add (already
based on a daemon concept, much more limited scope).
