Same here.

However, the architecture of CEL could allow for some of this to be 
developed in a relatively straight forward way.

It should be easy to write a module that subscribes to channel events 
that are created for CEL and turns them into manager events.  That could 
help external applications.

Internally, as I just noted, you can write a module that subscribes to 
channel events and react to them however you want.  I suppose the big 
shortcoming is that these are asynchronous events, so that doesn't lend 
itself well to taking real-time actions on channels based on events.

In that case, we need better synchronous hooks in channel processing. 
However, you already knew that, because you've said that to me before. 
:-)  I guess this is really another discussion for a different 
architectural issue ...
