Hey at least we don't have a list of possible source code file
extensions as big as the number of syntax highlighters VIM has :)
Still you make a point. Though I doubt some extra source code file
extensions will really cause it to slow down much. Now if that list
gets up to 100, maybe. But in this case I think it can improve
usability without much harm.

I think a large percentage of us here agree with that.
