I think so. However, I think this shouldn't be part of the first patch
as the first patch is only about deparsing. We should move this to DDL
publication patch or maybe a separate patch altogether. Another thing
is I feel it is better if this functionality is part of
filter_event_trigger().

Yeah, that would be better. I feel the event trigger related changes
should be moved to a separate patch in itself.
