Minor Description
What's the issue?
Should we be creating/using hidden files, should we begin moving (in a backwards compatible fashion) over to using non-hidden files.
We've seen in some cases that using hidden files can cause issues on supported filesystems/network shares.
What's the fix?
We should determine whether it would be worth moving away from using hidden files or whether we should just document that we create/use unix style hidden files.

Marking as Done, in general we've avoided creating any new hidden files in 'Neo', but I don't think it's worth moving existing uses over for the time being (since that would require care/attention to avoid breaking backwards compatibility).
If we find that customers are having unsolvable issues due to our use of hidden files, we can re-open this task and re-investigate moving our existing uses of hidden files.
