Well, if it is not a result of a discussion arriving to a consensus,
then, perhaps, the rule is not as hard, is it? What are you reasons

Ah, good to know. Perhaps, that's because Python has to work on OSes
with case-insensitive filesystems. But FreeBSD is not among those...

I agree, that /these/ things are best avoided. Mixed-case portnames,
however, are not so obviously wrong.

It is a /substantial/ minority. Analyzing the INDEX-10 here, I get:
% awk -F\| '$1 ~ /.*[A-Z].*/ {upper++} {total++} END {print upper "
of " total " ports have capital letter in name"}' INDEX-10
6312 of 25575 ports have capital letter in name
