It would help if you provided a more detailed patch description, this
one came with just a title :-\

You started to ellaborate above when stating that "which allows to get
events more effectively", could you please expand on that and mention
that it will be used by the following patches that will implement
feature X, etc?

I get that Arun is in agreement, everything seems OK, but we need to do
a better job on describing why we add code, the context we have now from
all these discussions will be mostly lost, say, 5 years from now when we
try to figure out why something was done in some way,

Thanks,

- Arnaldo
