Removing the value means reducing the use cases. For what its worth, this conversation is similar to the discussion the DAP had regarding proximity events. Proximity sensors report how far an object is away from a sensor. This is reported by the DeviceProximityEvent. However, we felt there was a need for a very specific event that reported if the 'user' was near or far from the sensor. The use case is basically if the users's face is close to the sensor or not. For this, the UserProximityEvent was invented. Maybe we should leave DeviceAmbientLight alone and add a new event type for reporting changes in the general range of ambient lighting. Thoughts?
