As in, carrying redundant information between two files?  True that it's
no worse than qmp-commands.hx; it would also ensure we aren't regressing
on quality of user documentation in relation to prior releases.  We
could do the restore of that file, but if we do, we should fix the bugs
in pre-conversion qmp-events.txt (a couple events were undocumented,
there were some grammar errors, all fixed as part of the conversion), as
well as document events that have been added post-conversion.
