We've been using .txx for 11 years and gotten along okay so far.  Changing
it now will be yet another massive rename commit combined with lots of
updates to other files to fix the inclusions.  It is a huge effort for an
"it would be nice" justification.  There is plenty of other work to do on
this project.

IMO it would make more sense to contribute patches to the editors in
question to support .txx by default.
