It's not about dragging feet, really just that updating to 5.0 isn't so
simple, and requires careful coordination to avoid breaking more things
that get fixed by the update. BlueZ 5 is being looked at by many teams
right now, and we're still working on the transition.

This looks like a great, simple patch that someone looking to start
working on Ubuntu development could easily put together in the package
and submit for review and sponsored upload. I tagged this bitesize.

Title:
  pairing Wii Balance Board not supported in 4.101

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The following code in 4.101 checks whether a device should receive the
  special Wii passkey:

  	vendor = btd_device_get_vendor(device);
  	product = btd_device_get_product(device);

  	device_get_name(device, name, sizeof(name));
  	name[sizeof(name) - 1] = 0;

  	if (g_str_equal(name, "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01") ||
  				(vendor == 0x057e && product == 0x0306)) {

  However, this does not work for the Wii Balance Board, which reports
  its name as "Nintendo RVL-WBC-01". I'd suggest to add a second
  comparison with this string.

  P.S. I haven't found any working upstream bug tracker, which is why I
  report this here, hoping that somebody from upstream will pick it up.
