and that is what it should NOT imply. The policy if it applies to all
internal devices, all devices in general or just WiFi or Bluetooth for
example is up to the user.

We are NOT going to have any kind of RFKILL policy in the kernel in the
future. We will remove rfkill-input once we have a proper userspace
solution (aka rfkilld or similar).
