Maybe I missed something. I think events.local is somewhat useful. For
example, the events of node A is large. If we need to determine whether
it is caused by the max of node A, if there is no events.local, then we
need to traverse the events of the child nodes and compare them with
node A. This is a bit complicated. If there is events.local, we can do
it very easily. Should we keep the events.local interface？

All right, thanks.
