Comment(by DD32):

 a -1 from me there.

 IMO zips should be trusted less than whats already on the system, Auto-
 installed Plugins have the catch that all folder names are unique, and
 therefor, dont conflict, but if i download a plugin called "something Cool
 by Denis" should it overwrite "Something cool by DD32" which i installed
 from elsewhere?

 Another option for this, Is to wp_unique_filename() (well..dirname) on the
 dest. folder, That'd have the benefit of no conflicts, However, It does
 have the downside that the plugin upgrader (still) doesnt respect the
 plugin folders name (ie. it creates a new folder based on the zip name, or
 the .org slug in the .zip rather than using the current folder (eg. core-
 control installed in my-plugin-cc/ will be renamed))) - So that basically
 rules that out at this stage..

 Maybe for uploaded plugins a unique_name.. else if its from .org.. not..
 But that doesnt feel right to me, since it varies depending on the use-
 case
