> Well @budparr imagine you have 100k images in one Directory. Nothing is easy to find and reference. In the news business all is speed. Every once in a while you have to search an image for an article.  
> When the images are all together in one directory - it will drive you crazy.  
> Even when you use Subdirs under the static folder.  
> Every image can have a name with sense or just a combination of characters and numbers DCF37773\_hhjd–goog.jpg for example.  
> Its really confusing.  
> And at the end, we have to realize backups of the whole system. And its best to have everything under content together.  
> With the new bundle feature it is possible to migrate from our custom WP and the db to hugo. And i am really happy about that.
