<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>The Log module dispatches events for log entity presave, insert, update, and delete operations. These were added in <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link drupalorg-gitlab-link-wrapper"><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/log/-/work_items/3243163" class="drupalorg-gitlab-link">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/log/-/work_items/3243163</a></span>.</p>
<p>The thought at the time was that Drupal core was going to move towards using the same pattern: <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-5"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2551893" title="Status: Closed (won't fix)">#2551893: Add events for matching entity hooks</a></span></p>
<p>Instead, Drupal core stuck with the hook system, but moved them to classes: <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3483599" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#3483599: Convert all procedural hook implementations to Hook classes</a></span> (also see this change record: <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/3486534">https://www.drupal.org/node/3486534</a>)</p>
<p>Currently the Log module's events are dispatched via standard entity hooks, and there are <code>@todo</code>s to remove those hooks if/when <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-5"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2551893" title="Status: Closed (won't fix)">#2551893: Add events for matching entity hooks</a></span> was merged. Since that is never going to happen, these <code>@todo</code>s will never be resolved.</p>
<p>Notably, a "log clone" event is also provided. This makes sense to keep IMO.</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Let's deprecate the Log entity presave/insert/update/delete events in Log 3.x and remove them in 4.x.</p>
<h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3>
<ul>
<li>Deprecate events in 3.x.</li>
<li>Remove in 4.x.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="summary-ui-changes">User interface changes</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<h3 id="summary-api-changes">API changes</h3>
<p>The following events will be deprecated in Log 3.x and removed in 4.x:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>\Drupal\log\Event\LogEvent::PRESAVE</code></li>
<li><code>\Drupal\log\Event\LogEvent::INSERT</code></li>
<li><code>\Drupal\log\Event\LogEvent::UPDATE</code></li>
