you know how dissatisfied i am about some aspects of linked parts, 
but i hardly think this is a justifiable reason to abandon using the 
feature (in fact, i find it quite trivial).  sorry for busting your 
ass :-) but i think you have simply not mastered how to take 
advantage of this setting properly.

different stages of work may involve different file settings.  if it 
is too much to remember all the things you need to change, prepare a 
checklist of things to change once you are at a specific stage in the 
job / score.  i tape things to the wall right behind my large monitor 
detailling different settings in bigger jobs so i can switch back and 
forth as needed and ensure consistency in the results.

ps... it ain't a bug
