I believe we should explicitly state that the light state might not match.
Otherwise we'll forget about this discussion and many of us will assume the
light state must match as well (and then Adam will have to use his infinite
memory and dig through the archives to prove us wrong once again).

But, I wonder if we perhaps still could make it more stricter about the
light indicator. The argument was that there is some hardware that doesn't
allow querying or something, and that's why we can't guarantee that. Well,
what if we said the light state must reflect the reality in principle, but
it doesn't need to work for hardware that doesn't support necessary
capabilities or is otherwise hard to work with? Because if there's a race
condition that lights up the indicator randomly whenever you boot, I'd like
to cover that case with the criterion. If the light state is clearly broken
in software, because it's inverted on *all* keyboards out there, I'd like
to cover that case with the criterion. Only with problematic hardware, I'd
make it non-blocking. What do you think?
