Right, but CJS and script do as well. The .js extension has always been broad. Never implied semantics just "some kind of JS"

It isnt well understood, we have been over the fact that it might be Script CJS or ESM. Heck lets throw JScript in there, AMD, or DOJO, ...

It's well understood to mean "some kind of JS, look elsewhere for the precise meaning"

Exactly, it is imprecise so not well understood

It means "JavaScript content". That's most important for tools like syntax highlighters or simple code search tools.

These tools exist in many many places. We can fix popular ones but there's a long tail.

Agree, but those tools arent evaluating code. We can PR safely over time.

We can but the long tail cost will be annoying. Some tools might be unmaintained and embedded in enterprise apps

Will they start adding new parsers? Will they handle ESM at all? If that doesnt update why would app?
