I don't think that we should introduce functionality to the event system that is only accessible to controls shipped with JavaFX, but not to third-party controls. Either this is an important feature for control authors, then it should be accessible for third-party controls as well. Or it is not important, then it shouldn't be added in the first place.

In my opinion, `javafx.controls` shouldn't be a special citizen, but just a consumer of JavaFX APIs. I know that that is not the case right now, but let's not make the situation more entrenched than it currently is.
