I really hope we push forward with that. In addition to the potential benefits listed in that bug, the JS debugger currently has a lot of issues where suppressing a page's events doesn't actually suppress everything (Promises, postMessage, XHR, I think a couple others) and so JS can still run while you are "paused". Being able to use a debugger/chrome dedicated event queue would nicely solve all these cases in one swoop.
