Comment(by morgs):

 Not base64 encoding the "key" makes current builds fail to get the buddy
 properties due to a D-Bus issue that needs a workaround. This means you
 don't see any buddies in mesh view, although they can see you.

 So if we stop base64 encoding, we lose interoperability with the existing
 builds and need a flag day to upgrade. This is to save 12 bytes.

 Is that worth it?
