Yes, potentially. And their temporal distribution could be any imaginable. The idea is that we're dealing with things like button presses, which could happen as frequently or infrequently as a physical device might need, and for which an application would have to be prepared for the duration of the device being in operation. I imagine most "production" applications probably wouldn't need to "stop listening" to events (though they could...). Mostly, this is for interactive REPL development; If you're tinkering around with things and decide you want to shut off or change the edge direction of a given pin, you don't want the old callbacks to keep firing.
