As discussed previously, this allows for users to get all events up to a particular time and batch them for purposes like atomic database transactions that keep the database consistently in sync with a particular block time. Because typical contracts with events may emit zero to many events per block, the next API does not give users a clean way to see if there are more events for a block time (including the latest) without waiting potentially indefinitely for a future event that may never come.
