Chances are you wouldn't even notice it happening. Your site would
just get slower and slower with no indication that it was the
filesystem that was playing up. You'd need to do some zend-level
profiling to realise there even was a problem. You can't seriously
expect the average user to go through this.
David, you missed this bit from Andy's comments:

That's a pretty important point to leave off.
An Options setting letting users decide to keep their old setup or go
with the new directory structure (or perhaps a hybrid where they can
at least decide *where* these monthly upload directories will exist)
is just providing users what they already had to begin with.
Can we stop trying to find ways to piss off those within the existing
userbase?

P.S. Besides, something along these lines (if workable) could make for
an interesting user-specific setting.
