And I've pointed out a number of times that this is not practical at
best. There are event sources which can create events which cannot be
coalesced into one single event as it would be required with your design.
Signals are one example, specifically realtime signals. If we do not
want the design to be limited from the start this approach has to be
thought over.

We need the mapped ring buffer. The current design (before it was
removed) was broken but this does not mean it shouldn't be implemented.
We just need more time to figure out how to implement it correctly.
