Meanwhile, what I said is correct. New version numbers result in only a log print. Being hard forked off results in both log prints and the -alertnotify being run:

That is easy to change; I'll submit a pull request. It is a good idea to get an -alertnotify sooner rather than later for EITHER a hard fork or a soft-fork. Better to be told you have to upgrade while the block.version is on its way to being a super-majority than after you are either hard-forked off the main chain (or soft-forked).

I don't have any opinion on the hard- versus soft- fork debate. I think either can work.
