I'm not sure that falling back on a python module's default behaviour
necessarily makes this an invalid bug.  When everything else on the file
is lower case, and apparently case-sensitive too, the expectation that
the section header is also lower case seems reasonable.  Not many
implemetors/deployers are going to know to expect that ConfigParser's
behaviour is the controlling factor.  And yes, that is why we provide
sample files, and things like DevStack.

I suppose consistiency doesn't matter, after all --config-file has a '-'
rather than an '_' in it and it is in the vast minority in the OpenStack
client options (even though I prefer '-', my GNU is showing).
