This is a large page so I've no idea regarding which part of it is relevant. 
Please quote the relevant part in a post to this list.

Brltty works just fine with Bluetooth on Fedora.

You're trying to define a non-problem by assumptions. Brltty neither creates a 
Bluetooth driver nor links against the bluez libraries. It simply opens a 
Bluetooth socket and uses it.

Actual testing rather than assuming it won't work based on how you think it 
should work.
