It's from the time everybody added their favorite stuff to sysfs, and nobody had a real idea in which direction the stuff was supposed to go. :) We only need "add"/"remove" and "move" for renames or re-parenting, and "change" when stuff changes. The "online"/"offline" are not useful at all, and ideally should just use "change" for their state and pass the state with variables or sysfs files. No new subsystem should ever use these events.
