Agreed. I'd further vote for keeping this change out until 3.x because it is a behavior change in a corner case predicated on a value judgement. Yes I find the idea of an extension without a filename to be silly. However this change punishes he who checked the corner cases to help he who did not. If this change is primarily geared to help in the case where people want to retrieve the file name without the extension, we should add a function to return this basic name. Who would rather see os.path.dropext(path)?
