There's no difference doing it that way or with a bulk edit - it will still be recorded in the
history..
It is a major difference! Doing the mechanical edit touches the last_edited for _all_ objects, as
pointed out by Michael, and makes an analysis for old objects significantly difficult. Doing it
individually _while doing other edits on the object_ touches the history for an intended improvement
of content, not some unimportant lowercasing.
Removes duplicated, reduces confusion, easier to search.
Cannot confirm any of those from my perspective.
Age of the object is much more difficult to search, while ignoring the
upper/lowercase is easy.
A good Spring clean improves the database.
Spring is over, however the database is improved all seasons by individual
edits.
I really think this fear of bulk edits has gone too far.
There is no fear, there are long-standing rules that have reasons.
