I can't say that I've ever seen any valid reason for filename case
sensitivity.  Yes, I know it's easier for file/pattern matching to treat
every letter differently, including casing.  But that's hardly a
justification for wanting case sensitive file systems.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
