Kernel-bfs already contains the wl1251 driver, just like the default kernel and kernel-power. If you mean updating it to the bleeding edge wifi drivers from lxp: I'm afraid I don't have the time to do that.
I'm also not sure whether they should be integrated at all, considering how nicely they can be distributed as stand alone packages (but that's just my opinion).

The bluetooth patch introduced in kp46 (and remain the same in kp47) is probably not the cause of problems, so removing it with such a haste may be fail move, only breaking compatibility with many bluetooth mouses.

Thanks for the pointer. I don't have any bluetooth hardware to verify any problems, so I have to rely on reports from other people. Even though the bluetooth patch may not be related to those problems at all, I am still seeing posts stating they do experience problems with it (whether those are false or not). I'll re-enable the patch if it either is proven OK or updated.
