I seem to recall him saying that he wanted to go to filename == OID
just like I'm suggesting. But I agree we probably ought to hold off
doing anything until he gets back from Russia and can let us know
whether that's still his plan. If he is planning one-huge-file or
something like that, we might as well let these issues go unfixed
for one more release cycle.
