Semaphore groups are not supported by the unified kernel (other than
via the legacy APIs).
A select() or poll() type mechanism may be introduced in the future
to provide a more general capability for a thread to wait on multiple
kernel objects simultaneously.

Event is such an overloaded and generic term (event logger, *kernel*
event logger, "protocol" events in other subsystems, etc.), that it is
confusing for the name an object. Events are kinda like signals, but not
exactly, so we chose not to name them 'signals' to prevent further
confusion. "Alerts" felt like a good fit, since they are used to "alert"
an application that something of significance should be addressed and
because an "alert handler" can be proactively registered with an alert.
