I agree that this sounds like a change with very unclear BC implications at best, and bad ones at worst, with dubious benefit. Just how much performance would we gain from case sensitive class names? If it's 20%, OK, sure, that may be worth whatever BC breaks that causes on the margins. If it's 0.2%, then frankly, no, the PR cost of pissing off people who have to manage edge cases is not worth the hassle. At the moment, I'm leaning No on this change, because the cost/reward/backlash ratio is just not there to support it. --Larry Garfield Would be good to see some real-world metrics, whether or not they're the principal/only reason this might be a good change.
