I couldn't find the system event listener discussion, but I did find the 
discussion about making FacesEvents optional.  Was started on 8/13/08 by 
Pete.  Conditionally closed on 8/23 by Ed.  I won't bother trying to 
link to the mail archives (sigh), but the spec issue is:

Yep.  Think we are all in agreement on this now.  The spec issue that I 
logged is targeted for 2.0 Rev a, so at this point I think it is safe to 
assume that we'll be fixing this for our MR.
