Actually this decision was made without any discussions - it was
quickly hacked in back in 2018. Maybe you and Nikita had some
discussion prompted by Peter's firm stance that we should
uppercase, but that was it. I protested several times while I
was still on board but had not anticipated how bad the solution
would turn out to be when it is implemented to follow through on
time. Now it is still not to late - bit it's getting more late
every day.

What we learned since then is that every single newbie trips over
it.
