802.3bt forecast

I thought PoE+ would easily carry us through the next refresh cycle, given our vertical (K12) and how few devices even approach the 30w limit. But just this week our camera installer dropped in some BT gear on an injector (270 degree camera w/ 3 integrated cameras), so now I'm second-guessing my assumptions.

Do you foresee a lot of demand for BT in the next 5-7 years, such that it makes sense to pay the premium for PSEs that support it? If you were refreshing your access layer in the next 12-18 months, would you include BT for all access switches in your list of requirements?
