I am concerned at the decision to include Spotlight support in Samba 4.11 release.  It brings in a TON of new dependencies and has not had much time for security hardening. This is all due to libtracker-sparql:

libtracker-sparql-2.0-0
libstemmer0d
libsoup2.4-1
dconf-gsettings-backend
dconf-service
libdconf1
gsettings-desktop-schemas
glib-networking
glib-networking-common
glib-networking-services
libjson-glib-1.0-0
libjson-glib-1.0-common
libproxy1v5

Given the vanishingly small user base inside of enterprises for this feature, should you consider either breaking out to another version or leaving out of the build until upstream makes it pluggable?
