The more I campaigned for it, the more I realize it's a bad idea.

The reason being, there's a lot of legacy systems out there that can only
handle 8.3. If we start sending out files which LFN then older systems are
going to choke on those files. 

While it's a nice to have, I would rather see multi level file transfer
menus so I can better categorieze my downloads. 

I'm sure I'm in the minority, especially after being vocal about LFN to
start with.
