Having a package alert and variables named alert is a footgun which prevents the deprecation of types. If we want to keep the alert package we should rename the variables. 'alrt' was chosen because it's short like golang likes, but not confusing like a one-letter variable (and for example we already use a for the alert store, around). Alternatively to this we could rename the alert package to an ammodel package with wrappers around prometheus model (so the mapping is clear and 1:1).
