When events were treated as posts, you could make them sticky and they would behave like a sticky post. Is there any demand to get that added back in for the event object? If not, I’m throwing my hat in the request ring.
This is a good suggestion. We didn’t have anything in the works for it, but it does seem logical that users would want to see this. I’ve added it to the list – no guarantees it’ll make it into the 2.1 release, but it’s on the radar now. Thanks Caleb!
