Unless that has changed recently, it's using libev, not libev. But the
crux remains the same: it relies on a C library that provides a
compatibility layer across event loops. I see little reason to not do
the same for Core rather than trying to handle properly each and every
mechanism around. The reason to also (still) support select() is that
it's everywhere (except that on Windows it's not really usable but there
you know you have libev or libuv).
