I didn't mean it in any negative way. I tend to use the word "complain"
to any report that something doesn't work. I probably should avoid doing
that.

I'm pretty sure the Tizen folks have successfully used the ofono backend
for headsets. Personally, I've only tried it once on my own machine, and
I couldn't make it work, but that might have been due to selinux not
liking self-compiled software.
