FWIW, I'm planning to send some patches to remove the bluetooth code in 
the 5.0 development cycle. Unless you want to beat me to it. But I don't 
think it makes sense to still make this configurable. The bluetooth code 
has been marked as deprecated for a while now, and nobody spoke up that 
they are still using it (and as far as I can tell, it's currently not 
usable anymore anyway), so it should simply be removed now.
