-   * the STREAM_EVENT_TOPICS and the GERRIT_TOPIC are both used to publish stream events. It might
-   * not be immediately intuitive why there are _two_ streams for this, rather than one. These are
-   * some gotchas regarding this:
-   *
-   * <ul>
-   *   <li>A subset of stream events is published to the STREAM_EVENT_TOPIC (i.e. only global
-   *       project events). This is done by the EventHandler.
-   *   <li>All, unfiltered gerrit events are published to a topic called `gerrit` (the
-   *       GERRIT_TOPIC). This is done by the StreamEventPublisher provided by the events-broker
-   *       library.
-   * </ul>
-   *
-   * Historically, the GERRIT_TOPIC existed to allow the streaming of all stream events. With the
-   * introduction of multi-site however, events had to be wrapped into EventMessage and streamed
-   * separately, in order to provide a header containing the instance-id that produced that message.
-   * For this purpose a *new* STREAM_EVENT_TOPIC topic was introduced.
-   *
-   * <p><a href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=14823">Issue 14823</a> now
-   * removed the need of EventMessage altogether,so that the `STREAM_EVENT_TOPIC` stream,
-   * conceptually would not be needed anymore.
-   *
-   * <p>However, before the `STREAM_EVENT_TOPIC` stream can be effectively removed, the filtering of
-   * the events needs to happen on the receiving side, as explained in <a
-   * href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=14835">Issue 14835</a>.
-   *
-   * <p>This would allow to *all* events to be streamed to the STREAM_EVENT_TOPICS.
-   *
-   * @deprecated Use {@link #GERRIT_TOPIC} instead.
