Do you know approximately how long this fix is going to take?  What are the
chances it's possible to back port it to 0.28?

I'm not at all familiar with crystal.  How big and common is it?  How
bothersome is this breakage?

The reasons I'm asking is to get a clearer view on whether to revert the
libevent update or wait for crystal to be fixed.
