Any news about when the rest of us might enjoy move functionality for files and not just articles?
Don't imagine they will want to let just anyone start moving files - not just for the server load reason, nor RAM or disk space issues (?), but because its just not necessary. We learned long ago to treat filenames as arbitrary and part of some kind of useful scheme.

All of that would seem equally applicable to articles. ('If you don't like the random name it was created with, just make a redirect...')
