It means that when you start up Wireshark you will be able to select a
Bluetooth-specific configuration profile in the lower right corner of
the main window or via Edit→Configuration Profiles. Wireshark will
remember this selection between sessions and users can copy and
customize global profiles. I checked in a proposed profile directory in
r49116.

Traditionally the default colorfilters file contained a minimal set of
rules focused on general troubleshooting. A case could be made to add
rules for WiFi, storage, telephony, and other types of traffic but we
haven't done so mainly because it would make the default rule set
unmanageable.

I think the colors are great and they make me wish we had similar rule
sets for other protocols.
