It's even an FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=aleph, 
which says

"The Aleph project aims to build a "usable" version of Omega, 
incorporating e-TeX extensions from the NTS project.

Two sets of concerns have provided impetus to the project: first, that 
many users need the e-TeX extensions, and they're not on the Omega 
development path; and second, that the Omega project is currently 
immersed in radical restructuring of Omega, and is not able to be 
particularly responsive to user requirements in the short term. In the 
longer term, the Aleph project hope that their work will be rendered 
irrelevant by the development of Omega proper.

The current pre-release snapshot of Aleph resides on CTAN with the 
rather modest name of e-Omega. Follow development by subscribing to the 
project mailing list via http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/aleph"
