Why would it need to?

I meant that the proposed event with fd remains as is, but is never
sent automatically; instead, a new request would be added that simply
triggers sending the event.

A request "please fill in this FD with the data" has a couple of
issues: is the backing storage large enough, and how will the client know
when it is done. These are certainly solvable, but complicate things.
