It is indeed unsatisfactory.

Is there any solution yet? Using the DAM? How do You deal with - say - 
having to replace one File over an entire site.

Scenario:
A PDF has to be replaced and the old Version needs to be removed 
completely. The old version must not be found anymore. On none of the 
possibly many pages where it is referenced. All References must be 
updated and all files in the uploads-folder must be replaced. All 
existing filenames in the uploads-folder must then point to the new File 
in case they have been indexed by external Search engines. The page 
cache for all Pages with a reference to the old PDF must then be deleted.

Seems like a pretty common scenario to me - how would you do that then?

Best regards, J. Rinck
