Furthermore, it doesn't work with bluez5 and the porting is not entirely 
trivial. Bluez5 might yet land in F20 and without anyone working on 
Blueman, it would get into a broken state.

So yeah, might be a good idea to retire it unless someone is willing to 
invest time in working on the code again.

Hope this helps,
