Lots of them use caps rightfully, e.g. those in p5-*, libX* domains, and
some others.  And it's never late to improve things by moving incorrectly
named ports with "svn mv".  In fact, that's what I expect we should be
doing next.

They are not "the heart" of the matter, they are just one of those things
that altogether make up for nuisance.  Technically it is still possible
to work with ports even if they all named LiK3_7HiZ but it would be huge
PITA compared to normal state of things.  What you're doing is of course
not as insane, but nonetheless still a pessimization.

Perhaps.  I cannot say that I fully agree yet, but at least you have
provided some reasonable backing-up for this one.
