I could have worded my post more clearly, I suppose, but it was intended for the audience that was reading at the time, and there's an implicit assumption behind it: this is really not a Fedora-level issue, it's an upstream ecosystem one. Both the choices Fedora had were bad ones: stick with a rapidly decaying and ancient Bluetooth stack, or update it and lose some useful features. Those were literally Fedora's only choices. Either would have made someone unhappy.
I'm hopeful we can get the necessary buy-in from various folks to have slightly higher basic functionality requirements for Fedora Workstation than we did for the desktop under the ancien regime, but "working high bitrate Bluetooth audio" is probably beyond the level of 'things we're likely to block the release on' still. I recognize that it's somewhat annoying if you've just bet the farm on it, but we have practical considerations to bear in mind too - we don't have infinite development resources we can throw around to fix upstream problems.
Bluetooth audio, networking and input devices are all expected to work in releases (and that's both in Fedora and RHEL), yet there are zero resources assigned to it apart from the little time I can spend on user interfaces for it.
Tell your manager this sucks, I've been saying that since Marcel Holtmann left Red Hat (and he was actually on the security team, not assigned to Bluetooth per se).
