Actually, I think there would be a huge gain. |

The gain would be that suddenly all those who oppose glep-55 because |
| 14 |
they're afraid the filename suffix will change too often will suddenly |
| 15 |
have nothing to worry about. |

For those who think glep-55 is the right thing to do, it really |
| 18 |
*is* glep-55, but with a small caveat that we shouldn't just change the |
| 19 |
filename extension for every single little feature enhancement. |
