damn, sorry, I forgot the most important question:
4.) what should the engine do in case of invalid event dicts (required
items missing, wrong type, unknown keys like 'time', 'mimetypes' or
'somerandom'? raise an Exception (noticed by the client) or just print
a warning to the logs and discard the event (client does not know
about it). currently we are doing a mix of both.
