    Description

      How could a system ever not know what the status of a record within the system is? If you decide there actually is such a possibility, include a 'rationale' element in Device.status explaining the use-case. (Note: this is the status of the record, not the device. So the record might still be active even if the device no longer exists - it's totally fine if you don't know the status of the physical device, that's not what's represented here.)
