They already do in a lot of occasions anyway. Is there a real reason not 
to do this? I always hated finding out that some package have 
capitalizations for no obvious reasons. MySQL or mysql or Mysql... Being 
able to just type yum install mysql without having to worry about the 
specifics would be nice.
