Any arguments for keeping Yum case-sensitive?

For a small subset of Western European languages and subject to all sorts
of caveats. Perhaps we should ask the same of say accented v unaccented
letters (where the policy of being the same is very language dependant)
or about languages of the rest of the world (the ones actually used by
far more people than English variants).

That question has no bearing on case sensitivity of yum if you bother to
think about it a bit more. A "did you mean" matching interface is quite
different to internal case sensitivity.
