Totally reasonable.

Amongst people that I associate with that build complex web apps, there's been an ongoing debate on whether a centralized event dispatch (what Flux advocates) is preferable to decentralized event emitting components (what Backbone and web components advocate).

For most of my career, I've been a fan of decentralized event emitting components. However, with Om's persistent data structures and functional render loop, having all of your data in a single place is suddenly a lot more palatable. From there, I think the event bus approach flows naturally.

Or at least, that's what I'm thinking now :) I still haven't written something with complex enough tests and other external dependencies to have gotten bit by this yet.
