Agreed. I never wanted to do so much work on rfkill, either... I just
wanted something I could use in thinkpad-acpi, but that proved to be a lot
of work, as once you start, you want to finish it.

I will go over the new proposed rfkill to check if it is in a state that is
comfortable for drivers like thinkpad-acpi to use, and offer comments about
it.
