How is "startswith" any less arbitrary than "endswith"? Because of some habit to move PKGBUILD to PKGBUILD.suffix?
Yes, as I already told at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57193: I keep several PKGBUILD files in one directory, and they are named like "PKGBUILD-project1" "PKGBUILD-project2" "PKGBUILD-project3" It is personally my usage. Maybe somebody else names them differently, even maybe without "PKGBUILD" substring in file name. So, for my need, I just could replase "package.endswith('PKGBUILD')" with "package.startswith('PKGBUILD')".
So? *That isn't any less arbitrary*, and breaks my method of keeping several PKGBUILD files in one directory, naming them "project1.PKGBUILD", "project2.PKGBUILD", ...
But it would be better to just consider every non-archive file as a PKGBUILD file.
