As already said very often on IRC, both during and outside meetings, I think 
we should give more than just "a slight preference" for KDE applications, 
particularly for such core desktop/system services such as desktop 
integration for Bluetooth. We are a KDE spin, we should ship KDE 
applications whenever they aren't completely unshippable. They may be 
missing some feature the GNOME alternatives has, but they'll integrate much 
better into our KDE desktop, and for all those core services, upstream is 
actively working on making them better (e.g. KBluetooth has a new, very 
active maintainer now). And of course they have bugs, but so do the GNOME 
alternatives.

Using a GNOME app is acceptable as a temporary workaround when there is 
really no KDE one we can ship instead, but not as a long-term solution.

Pretty much all the minimum requirements listed on that wiki page are far 
beyond the minimum level of service required for the app to be shippable.
