I am not sure how exactly this improves things? Could you clarify bit more?
Now we are waiting for a sealing to happen before broadcasting rather than mining to happen before broadcasting it.
But in (w *worker) resultLoop() function, there are several checks made before a mining event is emitted which could fail e.g. double sign. Wouldn't that be a problem?

@emailtovamos this happens after double sign
maybe NewSealedBlockEvent is not exactly accurate, but I have not got a better word

writeBlockWithState cost much, may be hundreds of milliseconds
we can post a NewSealedBlockEvent before it, so broadcast it early @emailtovamos

Ok, understood.
But if writeBlockWithState() fails for some reason then it is still okay to post a NewSealedBlockEvent ? This is my only doubt.

every verification has been passed when do writeBlockWithState.
if a miner has a bad db, cause failed to writeBlockWithState. It's ok, others will write the mined block into db.
if the block is bad, cause failed to writeBlockWithState. It's ok, others will reject the mined block into db.
Description
miner/worker: broadcast block immediately once sealed
Rationale
state.commit and write down some block may cost more than 700+ms
this PR is to reduce the unnecessary delay
Example
add an example CLI or API response...
