[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#746078: RT News - New member, freeze reminder and last Squeeze release

[Andreas Henriksson]

Hello Nobuhiro Iwamatsu!

I'd like to ask what the status is on getting bluez5 into
unstable?

This part of the recent release-team announcement makes
me feel pretty stressed:

I'm not alone in thinking that releasing Jessie with a Gnome that
has bluetooth support disable is not ok to release.

We really need to start this soon to be able to get everything updated
before the freeze deadlines!

If blueman is not ready, then so be it.... not the end of the world.
It has no reverse dependencies, so I really don't think it should be
considered a blocker.
We lose much more if we don't get bluez5 into Jessie then we do
if we keep bluez4 for the sake of blueman.
