Umm, no, it will show in the "who installed this hack". As stated a few times above, there will need to be alternative notification, if, as promised, that feature will be reinstated in the future.
The third notification is to help those who don't want to click install, don't want to subscribe to thread, yet still expect to get security updates. If that's what vb.org is worried about, a 3rd notification can address that concern.

Right. But that's the users decision: If he posts in the Thread he is aware that others know he is using the Hack.

Yes, it is, and it will put you, as the developer, in the position of supporting them by PM, or being "rude" and telling them they have to post to that thread to receive support.
Which gets us back to the extreme lengths we're going through, to protext a few members sense of false security. They have the right to be too cautious or paranoid, but they need to keep tabs on security updates. They have to do it for vB, Apache, PHP, their control panels etc., so why not keep tabs on vB hack updates.
