code from HEAD

Testing new events for bug 308330 I found that we create N event object when there are N requests for the event. We do this because we pas back the request object in the event. 

We should investigate not doing this, we should be creating 1 event and broadcasting it to all requestors (only place one event in the queue). The reasons for this are many, mostly:

1. smaller event queue size
2. smaller event / event packet size
3. less work sending events (less to iterate over)
4. faster event creation - we don't have to iterate over all requestors creating objects

etc.

This is not going to happen for M7

we looked at this in M1 and decided to leave it as is, one event for one request is fine, and a good way to avoid broadcasting events when we shouldn't be.

Marking wontfix (before I forget again)
