You still want to have the current state in the database (especially for things
like lid open or closes).. 

The thing i don't understand about DeviceConditions is that they are currently
used to convey some state, which is also saved as a property  (e.g.
volume.is_mounted)..  Making the Condition imho unnecessary, because you can
just check the property modified signal..

For something like memory ecc errors they could be usefull, but still you want
to save some state about that for later reference (when did it happen etc)
