They aren't designed for the immediate users; they're implemented for the immediate users. Feel free to add more fields as you need them. The current selection is based on only adding things when there's a user for them.

Existance is the primary thing, and everything else was added as needed. (Pure connectivity is a bit special, because it's a property of generic objects so that fsck-cache doesn't need to know about particular types of objects unless there are particular things to check about them)

If you need more fields, let me know, and I'll figure out how to include them.
