This has been done in V11; all file names will be 12 characters or less
for systems in the beta and final release to cooperate with
RCS and SCCS.  Large amounts of effort have been going into making the
code as portable as possible, and not only to various variants of Unix.

You are the first person to compain about this in recent memory.
I find it easier to parse names of files if there is some way to tell where
one word begins and ends.  This is particularly important once you have
abbreviated file names to live within 12 characters.  For example,
XChkMskEv.c I find easier to deal with than xchkmskev.c would be.
