Let me say this again clearly. class -> bus BROKEN In the case of bluetooth it would require changing /sys/class/bluetooth to /sys/bus/bluetooth. Which is user visible in the worst possible way and quick google search confirmed it will break user space scripts.
Clearly, we even have a compat API for that, and nothing would break. If needed, a bus can create compat class links. Did you even check with the bluetooth guys, last time I talked to them, they have been totally fine with such a change. Kay
