Ingo asked me to have a look on this discussion.

Well, I have to admit that I have no idea what this is all about. Are just
discussing the naming of a single extension? Or is it a request to change
the coding guidelines? Just give me a pointer, please!

Every 4.x extension will require a full rewrite for 5.0 compatibility, so
why should it pretend the opposite?

>  [ ] ext/rock/tx_rock_hardrock.php         (Robert #2)

It may remove redundancy (consider Roberts comment about using lower-case
which I agree with him). But given by the fact that the naming scheme will
change for 5.0 again, I see no practical use in this change.

>  [ ] ext/rock/class.tx_rock_hardrock.php   (Ingo)

If the class/file name must identify that this is an MVC based class, then
go ahead and change the name. However, if this identification is not needed
(and I think so) then I think you should just stick to this option.
