No.

We're talking about removing the use of libevent because libevent is
rare. Your library is likely much rarer than libevent. Sure, useful
functionality, but how how many competent programmers haven't
implemented such a thing in the past? This is a grade-school level type
experience.

I also note that glib provides exactly the same functionality, and
libglib is very commonly available. I have to imagine that the common
library plib also likely has it.

No. Not worth the trouble.
