Well, yes, I could add that paranoia to the core. Added to the todo list. But the core will re-init rfkill->state from rfkill->get_state(), so it is not a serious problem at all (since the drive provides rfkill->get_state(). The reason it is recommended to always init the thing, is that if you later move to a purely event-driven rfkill interface, you won't break things. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
