About the ".bin" confusion:
No normal user should ever come upon a .bin file (or file extensions at all but that’s a different story). Everyone that works with .bin files knows the difference. So, where is the confusion?

@unforeseen: Compare how often .bin files come up in support cases vs.
how often the word "Bin" is used on any interface to resemble a place
for deleted files.

If anything, the extension should be changed. But that’s not the point
here. (Although it was quite funny seeing .bin files translated
literally in the German version of the movie Hackers.)
