You're breaking consistency, both with our own existing port names and other OS/distros repositories. It brings some minor, but annoying technical issues, e.g. due to different sorting order based on one's locale (collation rules); people now have to remember to call grep(1) with `-i' more often -- not that is wasn't a good idea before, but you're stretching the surface for potential errors and mistakes. For no sound, substantial, technical and/or usability benefits -- quite on the contrary sometimes, as eloquently noted in Tijl's email. Please take some time and think about it as a software engineer working on a large project with huge number of ports, and a member of large community. ./danfe
