 Replying to [comment:3 azaozz]:
 > Thinking we should be stripping things like `-1024x768` from the ends of
 image names on upload. That will allow "proper" naming with -2, -3, etc.
 for duplicates and will prevent sub-sizes name conflicts.

 Looking back through the Slack thread, I see this
 [[https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02SX62S6/p1516911806000384?thread_ts=1516911292.000510&cid=C02SX62S6|comment

   I would not be in favor of this. While WordPress may try to use that
 filename, that could be a very purposeful filename.

 with which I agree.

 Another example of a "purposeful" filename that contains a
 "dimension"-like sub-string that is completely unrelated to the image
 dimensions is `our-store-is-open-24x7.jpg` :-)
