Our main system at work does that; any kind of status is stored as a
raw, text "note". It sucks. It makes trying to query for specific
kinds of events difficult, and it wastes a bunch of space.

It's a lot better to record machine-readable information for machine-
created events. If you want to present it all as one, I suggest a
union view that turns the machine-understood data into a human-
understandable text format.
