Yeah, I'm mostly wondering about it from a consistency perspective. I could see you'd have some custom dispatching code and later store the event object after dispatch in a global place and maybe you don't want things to be leaked there ever. Doesn't seem like a sound setup, but other than this case we do provide the guarantee that nothing would leak.
