I think it's feasible.  I would guess that the technical problems are easy
to deal with.  The business and marketing aspects in this down economy
could be a bit more difficult...

In DOS, it's 3 chars.  In Windows, it's generally 3 chars for the file
extension type, but it also allows longer extensions but those aren't
"file types".  In Linux, they are infinite length, but they are generally
5 chars or less.

You mean from FAT32 to NTFS?  Sounds painful.
