Event Timeline

As requested by @karels, this is now a separate review, with target MFC after one month.

Double-checking the places where this gets used, I don't think context is important. I agree with the long MFC just in case.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Dec 15 2023, 5:04 PM
