So, we have the hard bullet to bite: either we update (Fedora decided to do so, see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-August/187738.html for reference) or we accept to have a non-working BT stack in GNOME.
Updating it would likely still leave a few breakages here and there; but KDE's BlueDevil for example does have support in git.
The 2nd alternative would be to 'try to undo' the Bluez 5 porting in the GNOME Stack; No idea if and how well this will work; we would be the only distro with GNOME 3.10 running on Bluez 4.
+1 for upgrading to bluz5. Why: it's more likely than not that bluez4 will be dropped upstream (no patches at all) during the OSS 13.1 support time. Situation wrt support get's worse in view of the coming SLE 12. Let's NOT get the foul apples in the new basket, nae? Yes, making sure the depending apps and libs work IS hard work, but a dual stack is even worse, and a 'go-back' to bluez4 will hurt us more in the mid- and long-term. Fedora has already done the most work, let's have look on what we can adopt wholesale of that. - Yamaban. -- "P'N'P?" That spells "Plug And Pray", doesn't it?
