I know I don't have to but it feels dirty
I still try and stick to the 8.3 convention as far as possible. I don't like LFNs.
8.3 is horrible in almost any moderately complex system. We have one at work and you basically need a index / translation document to figure out what the files or scripts do. The Database tables have similar short name limits.
You eventually memorize the ones you use often but it creates a huge new / external parties to understand the system.
