I've discovered that the revision number on the direct link doesn't matter as long as the revision parameter is set to "latest?".

For example, the current direct image URL for London 03 upper looks something like this:

.../images/6/65/London_03_upper.png/revision/latest?cb=2012708191232392727&path-prefix=en

However, it turns out that the part in bold (i.e., "cb=2012708191232392727"), which stands for the revision number, has no actually effect. You can remove it entirely. As long as the link has the term "latest?", the dynamic url will always give you the lastest version of the image. Thus, it appears that it is not necesary to update the links if a map has been updated.

To make things more clear to other editors, I would probably remove the "cb" part of the URL, to avoid confusion. That is, the URL would be simply .../images/6/65/London_03_upper.png/revision/latest?&path-prefix=en
