Two minor objections to changing the default are: (1) it's a
change and any change is bad ;-) and (2) the reason I changed it
to .txt before submitting the original format-patch to Linus was
because Emacs wanted to go into its "diff" mode when files are
named with .patch suffix, which had two annoyances (read-only by
default, and editing patch tried to automatically recount diff
and its recounting screwed up in some cases I do not remember
the details about).

Well there's your problem.  You're using Emacs.  ;)

Seriously though, I'll try and fix up the patch a bit soon and resubmit.
