Source? Everything I found that could be interpreted as a statement in that direction sounded like it was part of a description of the Apple-Google approach.
In particular, I wonder if the APIs exposed to non-system apps let them rotate the Bluetooth identifiers, of if this will cause the phones to beacon their non-randomized Bluetooth equivalent of a MAC address nonstop. (The Apple-Google proposal covered this by randomizing that address too.)
