The reason I stated not to unconditionally add two more digits is *not* that I wanted to keep things shorter. I wanted to keep names stable and in the same shape as before for sensible people who spend more than 60 seconds---only those who produce more than one within the same minute will be affected.

What is your reason to want to make the filename shoter first? It would break everybody, wouldn't it?
