One of the issue here is to determine if libbluray is useful without libaacs
and libbdplus, as it would not meet the following guideline :
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packages_which_are_not_useful_without_external_bits
In others words, are we in a similar situation as for DVDs : libdvread is
acceptable while libdvdcss is not.
Indeed the commercial bluray discs offering is mostly composed of encrypted
discs, and thus useless w/o libaacs and libbdplus. However there are now FOSS
BD authoring tool and as such, we'll likely have more and more non-encrypted
BDs. 
This post links to such a BD, made from well known free content (Elephant's
Dream and Big Bug Bunny) : http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=328

Just some food for thought when this bug will be reviewed.
