I wouldn't.

Nope.=20
 
My issue is that I have a lot of existing .sch and .pcb files in my
design tree, where those suffixes currently have meaning relative to the
content.  While I could of course customize things any way I want, if
you change the default behavior of the ringdove suite tools to generate
.sch and .pcb files with lihata content, I'm confident I'll end up
dealing with files that have those extensions and lihata content one way
or another .. borrowing designs, trying to collaborate with others,
whatever.
 
I'm certainly not married to .lht as an extension for PCB designs .. the
total number of boards I've created in pcb-rnd to date would take me
only a few minutes to rename to match whatever your new default is,
updating my "harness logic" as needed to match.  I'd do that work
because I like using tools as close to their "default" behavior as
possible since a lot of what I work on is done in collaboration with
others and any time we customize at this sort of level, it's just making
more work in that context.
 
So .. what I hope for is that the default file name extensions for
ringdove are "unique" at least as far as avoiding conflict with any
existing tools that I, or others already in your user community, have built
infrastructure dependencies around, so that I can happily use the
ringdove default extensions for the designs I use ringdove tools for,
while keeping my big tree of existing design data around... and never
(as a human looking at files in directories) be confused about what is
what.=20
