In particular, updates are problematic with regard to derived content. What do we do with
the derived artifacts if we change the content? Presumably we would delete them and
re-derive. But if we do that, we might lose meta-data added to those derived artifacts
manually by users. There may also be relationships that have been formed on those derived
artifacts, in which case referential integrity will prevent them from being deleted, and
the update will fail.
All in all I am disappointed in myself for implementing the updateContent feature to begin
with.

I also agree that updateContent and artifact updates should probably be removed entirely.
It's caused quite a bit of confusion, is only partially implemented, and could cause
quite a bit of harm in real-world use cases.
