While i'm all for Unix-style names, i think the name .fos might confuse more
people than it would help, whereas _FOSSIL_ "clearly" has something to do
with fossil, and the unconventional _ at the start and end "clearly" mean
that there's something special about it (i.e. "don't touch it"). (At least
i've always found it intuitive enough.)

Might there not be a "documentation impact" (i.e., invalidating lots of
older docs) if this particular default is changed?

PS: i didn't know it could be renamed.
