Solving a problem for yourself is one thing; solving it for all the people
who look at the gnulib sources from outside is another.
I did such a mistake in a past life (in GNU clisp: use of .d suffix for
essentially C source, and use .lsp suffix for what most other people named
.lisp). The effect: It reduces the willingless of people to contribute to
the project. In other words: It takes away contributors. To some extent,
it pushes the project out of the mainstream, into a niche.
