I am waiting for pro teams to hire hackers at the important mountain stage in the Tour De France to hack the blue tooth to shift to a high gear while riders are climbing attacking each other. Its coming.

no need to hack anything...just wash out the 78 BT channels you don't use with a stronger transmitter and it goes tits up..
I really don't see the added advantage BT brings in this application..
How much weight savings does BT bring over , say a 3-4 steel cable??
And if it is a weight saver.. who benefits?? you only need the weight savings if you climb a lot. Most hobby cyclers ride flat roads.. I see it all the time here, in Flanders.. 6000 euro bikes.. and going for every gram.. but not a mountain to be found within 350 km's...
But ok, let's say the BT system saves 50 grams..
And let's say you want that 50 grams
Why does it have to be wireless if the application has both ends connected by a frame anyway?? Wireless is a complication compared to a simple communication wire.
How much does a 3-4 feet communication wire weigh ???
you can sabotage BT quite easily. Just wash out it's frequency with a bigger transmitter.
A wire doesn't weigh 50 grams more then a BT transmitter and receiver does.
And you can't wash it out.

KISS principle applies.
