There is nothing 'classical' or 'new' about either extension.

.pp was in accordance with unix standards.
.pas was in use for dos/windows by Borland (tp/delphi).

FPC normally uses .pp 

This allows you to make a distinction when you have lazarus/delphi
installed: .pp opens with lazarus, .pas with delphi.
