*Then* would be the time to change the extension.  As long as the
ebuild is bash-parseable with an appropriate environment, it doesn't
make sense to change the extension because a env-variable set or a
comment are more natural methods.

If/when the format changes to something not parseable by bash, then it
will be time to change the extension.  And then how to mark
(sub-)version will depend on the chosen new format, in case of xml
that would be the dtd information.

I suspect the rejection of the extension change will be there as long
as the fundamental format (bash script) doesn't change.
