How about that compromise. We use lowercases for all categories beside |
25 |
dev-perl. This whould mean we change three or four package names and |

makes |

our categories look nicer. |

For perl modules we continue using case sensitive names because the |
29 |
majority of packages uses upper-cases and it reduces typing. |
