I agree this is not really something that matters, but it's not really
any more difficult to do <whatever> for
nframes-as-determined-by-run-parameter vs
nframes-as-determined-by-event-time.

Anyway, events are beside the point.  I just try to ensure that things
we add are conceptually possible in either scheme so we don't paint
ourselves into a corner more than necessary.
