As the attachment module is not updated for 5.0 version of drupal, and will perhaps never be, I think there are features of this module that should be included in drupal core upload module.

For example, main issue with upload system is that you cannot upload two files in two different nodes with the same name, as the upload module use a single directory.

So, I think this is very important to be able to upload several files with the same name.

My mistake, the upload module correctly allows several files of the same names, but rename the files when they are put on the server if another file of the same name already exists...

But I'm unsure what happens if two people tries to submit the same file at the same time, as the name is given when we attach the file, so the file is not yet on the server, and not when we submit the message... (edit : I tried and it does not work well if two people try to submit a message with the same name in the upload file)

So I think the upload system should be reworked a bit...
