curious ioProcessEvents comment in sq.h?

While reading through sq.h, I ran across this:

/* Note: In an event driven architecture, ioProcessEvents is obsolete.
   It can be implemented as a no-op since the image will check for
   events in regular intervals. */
int ioProcessEvents(void);

But in looking at the the Unix VM source, it looks like the only way we're 
going to hear about (for instance) sockets becoming ready is via calls to 
ioProcessEvents().

Maybe I'm missing something. What was meant by this comment?
