I've dropped

      sys-firmware/broadcom-bt-firmware

to maintainer needed, as I do not longer have compatible hardware.

 From a security perspective, the firmware in this package could be 
considered dubious. Personally, I would recommend users to by newer 
bluetooth hardware [1].

The package has one open bug, requesting USE=savedconfig support:

- Flow

1: I now have a TP-Link UB500, and I am quite happy with it.
