Sorry, but you're gravely mistaken if you think firmware[1] is going anywhere. You can have all the bluetooth thingies you want but why should they be available at boot time, before you can use them? Excepting a bluetooth keyboard, which to me seems broken by design; you're replacing a keyboard with a cable that just works with something that needs a system up and running to function... [1] (U)EFI is only replacing the runtime interface of BIOS (BIOS will remain). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS#Changing_role_of_the_BIOS And if you want to ditch BIOS altogheter you need to replace it with something like coreboot or Open Firmware.
