This is at best a silly "patch".  At worst it is a horror.

There are literally dozens of such scripts all over everywhere.  And, the 
impact of renaming them will extend into the heart of heartbeat.

There is to my knowledge no reason to do this anywhere at all - the sole 
exception being *maybe* init scripts on *BSD OSes - for reasons of convention.

No UNIX system ever existing required shell scripts to end in .sh.
