I haven't seen the original message, but note that Five already 
backports Zope 3 events to Zope 2. Zope 3's event system is really 
really very simple right now.

The hard part with backporting anything *interesting*, for instance Zope 
3 catalog functionality, is that it makes certain assumptions about the 
way for instance unique ids are maintained that aren't true in Zope 3. 
Other difficult things to backport are local utilities (or local 
anything, basically) that listens to the events.
