While I fully support moving to bluez5 and use it in all my images, I do 
think it's a bit abrupt to make it the default in the first stable 
release that provides a usable bluez5.  On the other hand, Yocto's late 
to the bluez5 party and it's going to be harder to support bluez4 now.

Six of one; sign me up as weak support for delaying the move to default 
bluez5 until 1.10.

Just an opinion.
