Not that my opinion counts for much, but I thoroughly and
enthusiastically agree with this change. The 1.X model sounds really
clean when you first read about it, but then it turns out to have been
inaccurately or incompletely described, and the reality ends up being
quite messy. To have TRUE stop emission would bring the whole event
system into line with my initial (very favorable) impressions of how
it worked.
