I'd just like to suggest that "events" would be a
whole lot more useful if they were retrieved from a
database as opposed to compiled into the configuration.

for example
- mySQL
- Postgres
- ODBC
- Perl DBI:DBD interface
- or even just sucked from a textfile

    Yup. Fully agreed.

    Probably, the best way to handle this is to create an
    infrastructure like the datasource fetchers, with a plain
    text file fetcher supplied as part of the official
    distribution and the more esoteric (and harder to support
    :-) types as contributed extensions.
