It happens surprisingly often that I re-implement a script in another scripting language or in C. When that happens, I don’t want to update all other programs/scripts to now use `make-html-index.py` instead of `make-html-index.sh` and then 3 months later just `make-html-index`, because I finally went for C (or Go or Rust or …).

That's really something I never thought about. I often find myself in the same boat, re-implementing a script from one language to another and I have to change the extension. I like the idea, I'll use it from now on.
So no more extensions for executables.
