If you have a file-naming convention that includes important metadata within the file name, will that information be available elsewhere or only in the file name? File names are very useful as metadata for people involved in the project, but to computers they are just identifiers. To prevent accidents with e.g. renamed files metadata information should always also be available elsewhere and not only through the file name.
Also note that if metadata changes, embedding it in the file names may require renaming files during the project and this may have implications for references to those files.
