Can you elaborate in more detail what your concern about the timed
Event() is? This one itself looks fine; if anything, _Condition.wait
looks disturbing. Could you also kindly put your comments into

There are a number of procedural objections with regard to this patch
(license, missing documentation); if you can add significant technical
objections, that might be a reason to reject it - or to find a better
alternative.
