Both, I was giving the status and next steps as part of the
argumentation in favor of postponing the freeze. Even after Luiz said
on IRC that Marcel rejected the HSP implementation in BlueZ, I still
think that's better if we release with the refactored (BlueZ 4/5
separation) version, so we don't have to maintain (downstream bug
reports, etc) 2 different codebases.
