Hi guys, I think this is nothing to be changed right now.

Those are the kind of changes that can be made to a project just in certain
moments
(like the time when there are no branches from main sources -and we have
serveral,
mine included-).

If you start changing capitalization on all files around you'll get DVCS
branches broken,
and it will lead to a lot of "useless" work, a work that will give very
little gain.

I agree that the current standard could lead to little confusion sometimes,
but it's not bad at
all, it gives uniformity to our source code, and it's more than enough.

My 2 cents.
