It is very simple to make a system crash for a simple user while this is part of the distribution. And perhaps even worse options exists. I'd like to point out that the functionality it offers is of use. As far as I have seen the 'hcitool' offers an inquiry functionality, but that starts an inquiry itself. The 'benefit' of the current inquire_cache file is that one can use it without having to wait for an inquiry to finish and while knowing that the cache is pretty recent. Perhaps hcitool could be extended with an option for 'inq' that suppresses the inquiry itself?
