The idea of splitting to classes and events does not confict with your
current implementation. That is not an issue to show only one value
in pg_stat_activity and more detailed two parameters in other places.
The base reason is that DBA will want to see grouped information about
class (for example wait time of whole `Storage` class).
About user interface it depends from what we want to be monitored. In
our patch we have profiling and history. In profiling we show class,
event, wait_time and count. In history we save all parameters of wait.
Other problem of pg_stat_activity that we can not see all processes
there (checkpointer for example). So we anyway need separate view for
monitoring purposes.
