Many, many Seq searches/queries/dashboards/alerts use the @EventType field to restrict results.
Our work on #2077 includes the ability to efficiently index event types, leading to very fast retrieval times (subsecond to low-seconds in many cases) for event type queries over even very large (TB-sized) data sets.
Rather than wait for configurable indexing to land, which requires additional UI and diagnostic work, we've decided to enable @EventType indexing by default and ship an earlier 2024.2 release that includes it.
