Hi,

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth#Enabling_experimental_features

Of course you probably need the experimental uselfag on net-wireless/bluez.

I am not sure what you want to tell me with that link to the documentation and the hint that I might have to emable the experimental features.

How should that make the warnings go away?

Because these warnings comes from experimental profiles plugins that can be enabled only with D-Bus experimental option.
That is what the documentation link explains. You must enable experimental features or ignore them.

I will give it a try and see what will be changed.

Nonetheless, I still don't fully understand it. What does try to register experimental plugins with what? Is bluetoothd trying to register experimental features with something else, i.e. is bluetoothd in the role of the entity which tries registering? Or is something else trying to register experimental features with bluetoothd, i.e. is bluetoothd in the role of the registrar? I would like to keep my system at an overall stable state and I am wondering where do that experimental features (which cannot be registered and hence trigger the warning) come from in the first place? What causes that experimental attempt in the first place?

I would expect to see that kind of warning only if there was a mismatch between some packages using experimental features while some other packages do not support them. However, if everything is at a stable stage, then there shouldn't be such a message.
