I think it's a good idea.
I don't agree unfortunately. Honestly, I don't think it makes an awful lot of sense to run two indexers at the same time and having new binary names at each new major revision (-0.6, -0.7, ...) also brings it's shares of problems, like documentation, man pages, wiki, web etc which has to be updated (and most likely it won't, so we will have incomplete/incorrect information). Besides, I just think e.g. tracker-search-0.7 looks ugly. While it is imho useful, if you can install libraries and headers in parallel, so e.g. developers can more easily port applications to newer version, I don't really see the use case for having two indexers installed at the same time.
