Event Timeline
I don't think this change is a net positive change without a more comprehensive fix for "Mark Me As Attending Only This Event" vs "Mark Me As Attending This And All Future Events".
Notably, this will cause any status -- including "Not Attending" -- to be inherited by stubs (which seems wrong), but only for the host (which seems arbitrary). It basically turns the host RSVP'ign into a sort of "This And All Future Events", but without notifying them. To the degree that other calendar software has similar behavior, I imagine it is "default the host to attending all events", which this mimics but differs significantly from.
Also, consider the case where the event host changes; it's surprising that their invite behavior is now different.
