True, although if we add a generic "update to @TOPLEVEL_VERSION", that wouldn't necessarily need to be displayed in -e.
I like Wilbert's second suggestion, though: add a --force which always changes the \version to the latest one. This arises for the docs because now we have a combiation of @version (which is always the latest) and \version (which is the last convert-ly value). If the two are obviously different, it would be fine, but if they're only a few version numbers apart, people might wonder if it's a mistake. (particularly in the "modifying the templates" section of the LM, where we have beginners and a combination of @version and \verison on the same page) John, do you want to tackle this? You seem to be the python guy.
