As a user of an archival repository I would be very surprised to find an item constantly changing e.g. if referenced from my own work. This is just one major difference of an arbitrary web resource to an item in a repository (that is accidentally managed be means of a web application for reasons of convenience and accessibility). I doubt that anybody found such a feature useful before. I guess most admins would either append new bitstreams to existing items or create a fresh item per bitstream. At least older versions should not be removed from the repository, thats the nature of an archive. There is some connection to the long lasting discussion about the option to assign per- sistent identifiers on the level of items vs. bit- streams as I understand it.
