Don't you want to increase the number of hardcore hackers? ;)  .racket and
other long extensions just look a bit too long, especially since I generally
go for small modules and that means more files.

If we can use .ss I am all for it, but I can live with .rkt or other short
extensions.

My 2 cents. Cheers.
