Normally, it shouldn't change anything. When you install software, it 
tells the OS which extensions it understands. Many applications change 
the extensions they support when new versions come out. For example, 
Guitar Pro supports .gp4, .gp5, .gp. and .gpx.

The real question is: will the extensions clash with well-known 
extensions. For example, .pdt is "Printer Definition Table", .mdt is 
used by Microsoft but seems to be an old extension. I didn't look at the 
others.
