Not sure, -k is usually used interactively, not being part of CI
configuration ("usually", I certainly can see it being used as such to
select a sub-set of tests for a specific CI run, for example "-k
integration").

I would actually vote to change the existing behavior to be
case-insensitive. I doubt it would break many suites, if at all, and would
be more in alignment with the intent of the option, more of it being a
"partial match" than an exact match, as it matches against any portion of
the node id currently anyway.
Does anybody sees this differently?
Cheers,
Bruno
