Comment (by DH-Shredder):

 Hi wpdavis!  Apologies that this ticket went so long without a reply.

 I'm mixed on this.  I do see the value in maintaining a gold-master for
 images.

 However, in this case, unless the image is square, in half of the cases
 (presuming that an image is usually rotated once for initial posting),
 we'd be creating a new filename anyway, since the dimensions generally
 change when rotating 90 degrees in either direction.

 This, along with the the relative rarity of having a CDN (that you're not
 handling automatic flushing via the admin) or persistent image caching
 makes the edge case you're talking about seem relatively small, but would
 affect a number of hosting companies and users that have issues with total
 file counts.

 Are there hooks that are missing in core to prevent clearing the image
 caches you're looking to bust?

 I'm not thoroughly against the idea, but would be interested to hear use-
 cases where this affects a large enough group of users to warrant the
 increase in file numbers.
