What was the conclusion on how to associate .PY files with python-mode?

And what about .TXT files, .HTM files, .TAR files, and so on?

I have absolutely no idea why anybody can argue that it is more
correct to open these files in fundamental-mode than in the
"obviously" associated mode.

This is a genuine problem when reading files from eg. a CD-ROM written
in old-style 8.3 file names ...  and believe me, they do exist!

Too bad the lights went out :-|
