I'm not sure we want to support this kind of changes in the order or
contents of load-suffixes. It sounds to me like the order is there
for as reason, and no part of Emacs expects these lists to be
reordered, let alone have some extensions removed from them. I think
the only valid changes are adding extensions to the end.
Stefan, WDYT?
