Particularly on the case of PS3 controller, I still think this is a regression that could be fixed.

PS3 controllers do not use the standard Bluetooth connection procedure. Instead, they require a connection via USB, and keys are exchanged via there. There is the special `sixaxis` BlueZ plugin to support that protocol, and before that there was the `sixpair.c` utility found here: https://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html

Thus, it seems that there could be an exception for wire-paired devices, as it would still fix the issue raised by the CSV for us, PS3 controller users.
