This was well received in the past and is for most admins that manually do
$ mv app.war app.war.bak
$ cp /.../appv2.war app.war
a lot more intuitive than going to the content tab, investigating what a content repository may be etc to get the software in place

Content subsystem may be the canonical way to do stuff. And with Stefan's fixes it may even work. But last I've looked, it was still
a lot too complicated to use.

Using a bundle to replace  cp ~/my-app.war $DEPLOY/ is much too complicated. 
Also we should perhaps think on how to better integrate bundles and content, so that they do not provide two times similar 
functionality, which is slightly different.
