None > of the top-level text files currently have an extension. Except that I think that there is an expectation that the file will have an extension. For example see this wikipedia article in favour of security.txt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security.txt Then again, repositories like github seem to prefer a security.md file: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/getting-started/adding-a-security-policy-to-your-repository I think that there are web crawlers out there that look for this type of document and can handle either extension. But I am not sure if they will work with no extension at all. Cheers Nick
