Heh, funny example - I thought the same thing to myself, "well, I guess
we can never do statistics such as network card tx/rx".  I concluded the
same, that maybe such stats are overkill.  Keeping the HAL database
relatively stable, in the sense that a somewhat idle system does not
involve a lot of property changes, seems right.

I really like the current callout scheme, for its simplicity.
