I think it is a good idea now (except perhaps for the very few source files which could still be compiled by a plain C, not C++, compiler; maybe we don't have anymore them...). FWIW, when compiling GCC trunk with Clang3.4 (i.e. on Debian/Sid+Experimental) I am getting warnings about *.c being a C++ file. And I think newbies are distracted also by .c files being in C++ (not to mention emacs or other editors being possibly confused). So I am in favor of a massive renaming. (But please do it in one single huge svn commit).
