Please reply to the whole list in the future. epoll actually supports (according to its man page) both this style of notification and edge-triggered, where it tells you when a read is first available and it's up to you to keep reading until read() fails with errno = EAGAIN. However, since not all notification mechanisms support this kind of behavior, libevent uses the one that gives consistent behavior across backends. Besides, in many situations, this kind of behavior is more useful.
