None of these changes will appear in 1.4, 1.6.2, or 1.8.  The earliest that
any change like this could appear is in 1.10.  Beyond that, what must occur
is that we agree that a) the current behavior is wrong, and b) your
suggestions for the syntax should be the new, accepted events.
Additionally, it is unlikely that any deprecated events will ever be
removed, due to the problem of breaking existing applications.  To this
end, I suggest that you lay out each of the new events, in terms of syntax.
Examples for each would be fine.
