we had one guy from Qualcomm attending the BlueZ developer meeting a few
month ago. So it seems there some efforts.

Nothing is set in stone here, but for the Seattle release of the
specification next year it seems that Alternate MAC/PHY additions are
coming. Which means using Ultra-Wideband and/or IEEE 802.11 as alternate
radio technologies for high speed links.

Also the L2CAP retransmission and flow control will be started to be
used by profile specification. This means we need an implementation for
that at some point. I started working on it, but always get distracted
by user space stuff.

Regards

Marcel
