I should add that hard forks do provide us with a means to determine
whether or not miners are enforcing the new rules...but generally
speaking they risk far greater disruption if anything fails to go as
planned. Between the risk of clients accepting an occasional invalid
"confirmation" or two and the risk of a total network partition, the
former seems far less serious. I believe the concerns regarding old
clients can be remedied to a very large extent by means of a good
awareness campaign.
