Hawkular Metrics started bundling Alerting in October of last year and
there are no plans to not bundle it.

We need to make a differentiation between the components (Alerting,
Metrics, Trancing) and their integration into other projects. Hawkular
Services is a specific integration for ManageIQ. We need to adjust the
content around the core components to be able to build a community around
the core components. The integrations are just delivery methods for these
components. The integration of Hawkular Metrics and Alerting (there is a
special bundle for that just like Hawkular Services) in OpenShift Origin
has been used a lot more people than Hawkular Services ever was. Yet it is
nowhere featured or discussed. We need to refocus the front page on the
core components. Hawkular Services or Hawkular Metrics & Alerting OpenShift
Origin (or other future integrations) should be mentioned but in another
section.
