I hope they use the running status of the event to indicate that. If 
that's the case I had a PoC patch for it before I deleted it

I can't remember reading such questions in the last year but I mentioned 
my PoC patch here and on IRC. The last status I heard for UK was that 
using running status is planned but not live (last summer).
