Well, if documentation had been available well before beta, other
procedural languages might have gained support for event triggers. If
it's not being documented, it might not happen very soon.

It would have been good to have at least one untrusted language with
event trigger support, so that you can hook in external auditing or
logging systems. With the existing PL/pgSQL support, the possible
actions are a bit limited.
