Comment (by neotrope):

 Right - but the filename is unique to begin with and should not be
 rewritten as the base file being used inside a post for a newspaper with
 internal versioning and backup merges, where now we would have duplicate
 versions of every image.

 So, having to use a plugin simply to keep the original filename is
 incredibly stupid.

 No CMS should change the names of original intellectual property files --
 this is contrary to good behavior. -1 on the primary image should only be
 done if in fact there were a duplicate, which we have not had since using
 WP since 2004.

 Hopefully dev team members will rethink this as it's now causing problems
 on 20 news portals for us.

 Really really bad and intrusive move.

 We don't need custom file names, we need our image file names to remain
 what we name them.

 Sheesh.
