Rather those which either have no X, or have no direct input methods at all (home server sollusions, no screen, no keyboard). I'm using an old PC as an BT gateway for couple of PDAs. The truth is that, both for WM and my small gateway, I only need the device-pin list and a way to disable any kind of prompt for PIN for unknown devices. If the support for the pincodes file is a permanent sollusion (one that will remain in the next relese) then the D-Bus approach is as good for me, as any other one.
