I believe that the problem is that (as Aaron states in that change request) if we don't enforce case-sensitivity, we get the unfortunate situation that an application which works on Windows, or Mac OS X, might not work on Linux. By enforcing case sensitivity, we ensure that the application works on all platforms without requiring any changes. In the past, we had heaps of bug reports about this exact issue, until we started enforcing case sensitivity on all platforms. I've added Martin Jones to that change request to get his opinion, but I would be surprised if changing this behaviour at this point in time is sensible. Cheers, Chris.
