Bluetooth LE Teensy?

I love Teensy--who doesn't? But for a series of projects I'm working on, I want BLE in an all-in-one package. I've been using DFRobot's Beetle BLE: https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1259.html
It talks a simple BLE serial protocol, it powers stuff over micro-USB, and it's cheap!
But the Teensy form factor, SRAM, and other features would be so great.
I could add a separate BLE module, but size and price are critical factors if I want to make lots of devices.
Have you ever considered releasing a BLE-enabled Teensy?
 
the problem with all these "addon" devices is
1) they drive up the cost of the product
2) why have 10+ different kinds of teensies because people want BT, WIFI, GPS
this isnt a base model car with optional features you can purchase at the dealer...
3) if designed for each persons needs, the cost of supply & demand would be affected
4) wire up your own board and call it a day, you could prolly find some teensy breakout board on tindie
 
Sure, everyone wants a different set of features, and it isn't practical to make each variety. But Bluetooth Arduino boards are a thing, so I think it's fair to ask if PJRC would lend their brand of awesomeness to the product space.
