It appears to be a religious issue for many people on OSes where
extensions have no significance.  They're happy to pollute file
content with #! gibberish and editor turds, but are offended by
extensions on executable files.  So it goes -- conventions differ
across platforms, and platform-natural installation is a legitimate
goal no matter how foolish a given platform's conventions appear to
people on other platforms.
