SharePoint 2010 - Site Template is now saving as wsp

Observed that, the Site Template which was with the extension .stp in SharePoint 2007 is now  saving as .wsp in SharePoint 2010 and the site gallary will not be available instead templates are stored in Solution Gallaries.

"wsp" file extension was used for solution packaging in SharePoint 2007.


Go to Site Action -  Select the option "Save site as template"

 
When you save the site, you can observe that, the file has been saved with the extension .wsp
