Hi Nio,
this is a very good point!
I rarely use extentions here in GNU land (with the exception of cpp/cxx
and h for programming)
I never need to put .txt or .bash etc.. since files are determined by
their binary qualities (except when related to mime type occasionally)
AFAIK.

I do use the .bash extention for my ISOmaker chroot scripts
