Does this also mean that bluetooth won't be switched on by default when loading 
the thinkpad_acpi module if I switched it off using the bluetooth_enable sysfs 
interface previously ?

I always thought that rfkill stuff was all about the little hardware sliding 
switch at the left front side of the thinkpads.

Sorry if I'm confusing something here ...
