The branch solution should be the preferred one for
now. Breaking things this close to 2.46 is definitely
NOT an option and there's very little time left for
proper testing. A proper solution for backward compat
can be devised and tested in the branch in the mean
time.

Negative events is a big no no too. There needs to be
a good distinct way to separate up and down events,
but this sort of duct tape solution is not one of
them.
