It's actually the other way around: if I don't feel my opinion is
strong enough, I usually say so.

The cookies will take care of newly created/rewritten files,
auto-mode-alist will take care of existing ones that no one has
changed yet.  The result is a more complete coverage of the involved
files.

No need for such complexity.  I meant to mention the standard names in
auto-mode-alist, under the assumption that many/most users don't
change the default names.
