| Below is the same event but without the expiry. |

Does it even make sense to have this without an expiry? Isn't a mute without expiry essentially a ban, or what's the reasoning?

Yes a mute without a expiry is on the surface close to a ban but if one makes the assumption that policy application engines reverse policies that have been reversed then the assumption of it being a ban would no longer be true.
Even then a mute is in some ways not a ban since it forces you to be read only but does not eject you out of a room. Close but not equivalent and this lack of equivalence can actually end up being important for some communities.

| + Applied to a room: No-op? Could be changing `events_default` to the same level as moderators |

Not sure why this is a question, you cannot ban a room from a room, same with mutes.
