I'd be ok with renames of all of them. It is really weird that portable filenames aren't just 255 characters avoiding NUL or path-separator (usually /).
This is not about msdos alone. The implication has slowly infected other systems and applications -- which now make logical decisions, and those decisions have consequences. Sometimes that is dangerous, perhaps not immediately, but in larger cobbled together realworld systems. Sadly, having observed how much effort it takes to fix simple issues like time_t overflow which are perceived (incorrectly) to be pervasive, such logic is unlikely to ever be deleted, more likely every year additional software gets such logic because someone thinks it is a good idea. Maybe is better for everything to avoid all cases. Shall we provide a demo of best practice. Even if best means sad?
