If you think such usage of Action and Func are very bad things, why ?

Of course, if you assign an anonymous method as an EventHandler, you are
never going to be able to remove it from the delegate's method dispatch queue

"Delegates with more than one method in their invocation list derive from MulticastDelegate, which is a subclass of System.Delegate." 

"If you put your method in a delegate (say, a local variable or a field), and then bind it, you can also unbind it again using that reference"

Thanks for your very thoughtful reply

Aren't all delegates inherently multi-cast

really do not provide a practically useful object in the Events 'object sender
parameter.
