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.
I disagree, and I'd like to see file renaming opened up. It sucks seeing a file with a blatantly wrong name sitting there for years. Sure, the file names could be totally arbitrary (a882be8.jpg) or they could be extremely meaningful - but having them stuck at whatever the uploader originally thought of is not ideal. Especially since redirects exist and work.
