As always, an excellent post.

Anticipating "just use hash-based names" responses... while hashes would work for PDFs, MP4s, and otherwise static files, it's also not entirely clear they would generally work for web pages with embedded resources, javascript, etc. There are trade-offs in decided what to hash.
