* The browser's request for events is proxied with this method, rather
* than having the browser make the request directly to api.wordpress.org,
* because it allows results to be cached server-side and shared with other
* users and sites in the network. This makes the process more efficient,
* since increasing the number of visits that get cached data means users
* don't have to wait as often; if the user's browser made the request
* directly, it would also need to make a second request to WP in order to
* pass the data for caching. Having WP make the request also introduces
* the opportunity to anonymize the IP before sending it to w.org, which
* mitigates possible privacy concerns.
