smaller tasks are great if those can be tested standalone.

Not keeping promises is a different thing but if bugs are not resolved, 
the whole code just needs to go to 4-8 and not 4-7.

Absolutly true. I can't be this reviewer then because I really don't 
know which things are solved and what is a bug and what is a unwanted 
feature. People know *nothing* about the functionality of the BLE 
project (buzzwords don't count), so how can others review code? Is there 
a specification, a document which describes the wanted output?

TRUE.
