This is also an antipattern, btw—events between bounded contexts should be somewhat limited, and well-defined behaviors when doing so. What you're doing with a scheme like that, sharing CRUD events between external services or systems, breaks all kinds of conceptual and logical encapsulation (in addition to the aforementioned CRUD thing.)

Why is it an antipattern? What does it make more difficult?

Pattern matching? Creating useful state snapshots? Curious to hear more about your experience.
