There is at least one regression as a result of this change -- bluetooth audio devices can no longer be used in "headset" (HSP) mode -- see bug #1045548.

This regression is documented in the draft release notes for Pulseaudio 5.0[0], which say (in "Notes for packagers"):

> PulseAudio now supports BlueZ 5, but only the A2DP profile. BlueZ 4 is still the only way to make HSP/HFP work.

This notice should, I think, be in the F20 release notes to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Carl, it is unfortunate that we (I) missed this when composing the release notes.  I think the way forward is working to get the functionality added; for future releases, your help in creating the release notes *before* release would be welcome.
