New option with Update Aliases from database. Add or remove a field in database, mxd is automatic updated . But if you update aliases in database there is no method to update your mxd, you have to do it manual.
It should be nice to have all these option in Customize - ArcMap Options - Layer (new tab). Changes in this dialogue should apply to all layer.
