Comment (by flixos90):
I agree with @jnylen0. I don't see any reason why this endpoint should
only be considered "internal". Allowing other developers to use it (if
they wanna do custom things with community events) should be a best
practice for any endpoint in my opinion.
Also, suddenly not following the concepts and structures for endpoints
that were just introduced in 4.7, seems way too early to me to break a
pattern. More code might possibly contain more bugs, but I hardly see this
as an argument (we might as well just have used simply functions without
schemas for the other endpoints then), especially as we're supposed to
heavily test and write unit tests for everything to knock such things out
in advance as best as possible. In the long run, following a proper
structure and providing a schema defines clear boundaries for the data
being returned and raises the quality and reusability of the code.
