list is the most likely - developer writes the file once, users install the thing thousands of times and may need to read or even <gasp> edit that file to get it to work.
A user would never need to edit an .ini or .info file, just like they never need to edit a .module or an .install file. Irrelevant argument.
.install, .module, .inc., and .info files are developer only.
I think that is one of the problems with using a .ini extension - it is often used for configuration and program settings. A think .meta is more semantically in line with what we are talking about. In general I like the idea of using the ini file format, but I would like to make sure the parse_ini() function is nicely wrapped, so we could change/extend/mashup things in the future without lots of downstream changes. - Owen
