FarCry 3.0 actually approves associated media assets on approval of the
parent content item.  In other words, if you add an image to an HTML
page its in DRAFT.  But when you approve the HTML page the associated
image (or file) is also approved.

I'd argue that trying to manage large image libraries from the tree (as
was the case in 2.3 and below) was all but impossible.  Obviously there
is plenty of room for improvement with the current system -- so lets
make sure we address that in the upcoming 4.0 release.

Given that associated images/files are automatically approved, does
this clarification make life easier for your clients?
