20  * Superclass for {@link MessageEvent} and {@link NetworkEvent} to resolve API backward
21  * compatibility issue.
22  *
23  * <p>{@code SpanData.create} can't be overloaded with parameter types that differ only in the type
24  * of the TimedEvent, because the signatures are the same after generic type erasure. {@code
25  * BaseMessageEvent} allows the same method to accept both {@code TimedEvents<NetworkEvent>} and
26  * {@code TimedEvents<MessageEvent>}.
27  *
28  * <p>This class should only be extended by {@code NetworkEvent} and {@code MessageEvent}.
29  *
30  * @deprecated This class is for internal use only.
