Hmm, I like "event" much better, FWIW.  The potential for clash with 
"calendar events" seems higher in GUI-land, yet all GUI toolkits 
continue to use the word "event".  Unix culture thinks of signals as 
extremely minimal information--single bits with no queue, in fact. 
Events are much more than that.

Maybe this is an opportunity to start working on a migration service. 
Migration services are relatively simple components with a button to 
migrate all old data within a site to a new format.
