What else does it report? As far as I know it doesn't have anything
else, at least on my system.

Depends on the machine... earlier ones have the backlight there or
volume control.. then LID close could be an event too...

Ok, yea. Well, we need to rework all of that. Currently, to get at the
lid status, you have to open /dev/adb and do something through that.

I honestly don't understand the reason for this. Is it just historic?

Yes.
