If you are running SolrCloud, then the situation can be slightly different than what you have described. In SolrCloud, the active schema (whether it is schema.xml or managed-schema) is in Zookeeper, not on the disk. If you're NOT using the managed schema with SolrCloud (and probably even if you are), you can upload a new config set to zookeeper at any time using a zookeeper client, then reload the collection. There is a custom commandline zookeeper client included with Solr, handled by a script called zkCli. With that, you can change the config, schema, and anything else that would normally be in the conf directory, even if you do not have direct access to the filesystem. It's not quite correct to say that the default in 5.0 is a managed schema. It is default if you choose to use the data-driven example, but the techproducts example is the one that is the most like the examples in previous versions, and it does not have a managed schema.
