Hi,
came upon a mode my-mode.el residing in directory my-mode.el.
Which looks confusing for me, as PATH/TO/my-mode.el might be seen as
indicating a file, while pointing to just a directory.
Any opinions? Maybe there are pros for this?
Thanks,
Andreas

No pros, only cons. There is code in emacs that assumes that any
directory entry ending in '.el' is a file containing lisp code, even
when that directory entry is a directory, not a file. See eg
