I agree on this point - I respect the convention but I find it
unnecessary. I think most distributions tend to stick to upstream
naming conventions. There might be some minor portability problems
with CamelCase filenames (I'm not sure), as some OSs are case
insensitive. But on the whole I certainly wouldn't mind to drop this
restriction, or are there any other reasons for it?
