Actually, due to this Change being submitted after the deadline, this isn't
100% true in this case.  Fesco approved the Change like this:

"
Bluez5  (nirik, 18:54:28)
* AGREED: approve bluez5 landing now -- if the other alternate desktop
  envs agree to not be blocking, they do not need to be fixed in order
  for the feature to stay in.  If they don't we'll need to see that
  they can get bluez5 support in time for F20 or evaluate whether to
  trigger the contingency plan. (+7,0)  (nirik, 19:09:11)
"

At the meeting, nirik expressed the opinion that xfce could ship in Fedora
20 without working bluetooth but he couldn't speak for the other desktop
environments.  The other exnivronments need to decide whether they can (A)
get some working code that works with the new bluetooth stack or (B) are
okay with possibly not shipping with working bluetooth support.  If they
can't and are not then this Change may need to activate its contingency
plan.
