Unfortunately, it's upstream Bluez that removed/changed these features for version 5. And the upstream Bluez developers stopped working on Bluez4 in mid-2012. So staying with Bluez4 would have meant using a very, very out-of-date Bluez that Fedora developers would have to maintain, since upstream clearly wasn't interested.
