I know this is a little tangential, but this brought some simmering anger back to the surface. Just today I was trying to communicate with a bluetooth device that provides a serial channel.
Back in the day I used to just run "rfcomm bind <mac-address> <channel>". But it turns out BlueZ decided to deprecate (read: stop building by default) the rfcomm command in favour of... wait for it... a barely-documented D-Bus interface.
How much do you have to hate your users before you decide to take away a useful, functional executable and replace it with an unspecified interface over D-Bus that requires hours of research to use rather than 30 seconds of reading a manpage?
