It's a bad strategy. Some nodes will have lower or mixed case filenames and once they pass through a BBBS they will be all upper case unless that BBS can use the lfile keyword.

There is that I suppose.

MBSE does have good intentions. It can send 8x3 filenames to BBSs that only
support that even if the actual filename is longer.
