Yes, I plan to make all my developments, contact manufacturers, etc. in
cups-filters.

More precisely, printer-driver-indexbraille supports Index devices
in a way different that cups-filters supports them (host-side vs
embosser-side braille rendering). Newer devices from Index keep
backward compatibility, so newer devices should be working with what was
just released in cups-filters, without the need for using the driver
from Index. Index happily provides protocol information anyway, so at
least in the coming future cups-filters should be having the same level
of support as Index' provided driver.
