Except that there's only so many hours during the day, and I (the bluez, and gnome-bluetooth maintainer in Fedora, and upstream gnome-bluetooth developer) don't have time to work on this sort of feature.

Otherwise, the majority that want things just to work will keep enjoying the current state of affairs. /Bastien, who got plenty of "OMG, I can't believe it just worked" messages on blogs and IRC -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
