My problem is fairly simple, and I am more than 100% sure more people have 
issues with it.


First of all, let's be clear, I am not quite "new" to rails, I have been 
working steadily with it for over a year (And I love it), and I do a lot of 
more advanced stuff, so I am not unfamiliar with the asset pipeline at all.


But one of the things that I always get back to is the assets pipeline, and 
using it for more "permanent" assets like logos.


The Asset Pipeline is amazing and I'm all for opinionated solutions, but 
I'm all for solutions, and the decision to not use querystrings, albeit 
respectable in the sense it leverages proxies, creates a problem where 
mails sent today may appear without a logo in the near future.


I am not saying this should change (unless all or at least most caching 
proxies started picking up query strings, if that's the case maybe changing 
is a good idea). I'm just looking for a solution to serve (At least some 
of) the assets that were deleted by using the newest version, even with 
different digests. I had to upload files to the public folder more than a 
few times, and I feel like it's an awful way to fix it.


Now, having estabilished I do understand the Rails way and I am only trying 
to devise a way to keep serving files, what is the general opinion about 
it, and are there already ways to achieve it?


Thanks, and nice to "meet" you all. :D
