    Locality.  I find the concept of locality to be extremely important.
    E.g. if I rename the directory "foo/bar/baz" to "off/bar/baz" it will just
    keep working without any need to recreate thumbs.  If I delete the
    directory, the thumbs will automatically be deleted with the images, ...

This would be quite convenient.
