What do trackers have to do with it? DHT and PEX are pretty thoroughly supported.

magnet links are trackerless too. Or at least, they download the .torrent using DHT and can then use trackers from that. Or so I understand. Not that we really need them.

Also, using one torrent which gets updated to include newer versions will mean everyone hosting old versions will be cut off, which is kinda stupid.
