It might be more suitable than LiveData to "event"s, but one problem I faced when using it was that you must know the relation between source, target and the FragmentManager. For example let's assume we are using navigation component from Jetpack, and have a simple fragment witch want to communicate with host Activity. You might think that Activity's supportFragmentManager and Fragment fragmentManager are the same instance, but actually there's a NavHostFragment between theme which have a fragmentManager that host the target activity.
