The next LV2 release will have all event stuff tagged as deprecated, so
GCC will generate warnings on their use.

The short answer, of course, is that it has been replaced and
deprecated, but the main reasons why that happened are:

1) A container for data that isn't always inside an event buffer was
needed

2) Different contexts for mapped URIs proved to be a
broken/complicated/error-prone idea.  At the same time, uri-map was
dropped for urid, and atoms use a straight (32-bit) URID for a type.
