I wouldn't characterize the state in those words.  hfp_ag_bluez5 plugin 
is still useful as it allows one to run the HFP AG RFCOMM control port 
(e.g. AT commands).  Just no SCO (audio) connections are possible.  AG 
role is not really useful to the general populace anyway.

Whether you run oFono with or without the hfp_hf_bluez5 plugin, it 
shouldn't really matter.  Audio is only available for the HF role at the 
moment.
