So DMI data is worthless? It seems to identify my Dell Mini 10 as "Portable" and my T61 as "Notebook" just fine. I can sure make power management decisions based on whether the system is a server or a portable laptop. Another thing, is we're exporting this as a property in DeviceKit-power, then the dmi data can be one source of information, a seed if you like. Other metrics could be if the system has more than 4 disks it can be a server, but you get the idea. Not using the information because "it might be wrong" doesn't seem very sensible to me.
