I didn't intend that to be so heavy handed, my apologies.

I think we're miscommunicating. Seems to be mostly my fault because I was thinking of AlertIOS at the same time and accordingly focused on alertType which is used with prompt but I suppose your PR is quite clear that you are addressing only alert, not prompt. Then you are perfectly right.

I should have been clearer what I thought was wrong with it (Alert and AlertIOS needs to be merged and then alertType is still needed), so once again sorry about that.
