The latter feel like trying to cram things into the ugliness of the legacy DOS 8.3 world. In comparison, the former have a more modern feel to them. (They may be on the long side, but not overly long IMO.)<br><br></blockquote><div><br>The issue isn't that they are "too long". It's that:<br><br></div><div> a) they might feel unusual, since long extensions aren't common<br></div><div> b) they expect users to know what Flatpak is<br></div><div> c) they leak implementation details which users won't know how to interpret (particularly the "ref" in "flatpakref")<br><br></div><div>.flatpakrepo and .flatpakref aren't an issue if you're a developer and know what they mean.
