Hi Matthew,
quoted
why is it confusing? I don't understanding your argument here. I think
the KEY_RFKILL_ALL is confusing is the user policy then only kills WiFi
devices or toggles between various on/off combinations.
Having it be KEY_RFKILL implies that KEY_WLAN and similar aren't related 
to rfkill. KEY_RFKILL_ALL implies that the key invokes policy on all 
rfkill devices, which is the aim here.
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).

Regards

Marcel
