here's one (and it took me about 5 minutes to find it...)

though you'll see that Yahoo decided it confused too many people and
changed it.
So that describes a deployment where they _accidentally_ introduced case
sensitiveness and all hell broke lose and they fixed it. That only
argues in favour of the assumption that case sensitive different
mailboxes are dead.
But that's pragmatism by a large provider introducing a new
feature, not "fixing a bug" and certainly (and this is fundamentally
John's point) not "having to change my mail system which has been
working just fine for the last 30 years".
openpgpkey does not modify email delivery at all for unmodified 30 year
old servers or otherwise. At most, the 30 year old mail server will not
receive as much pgp encrypted email as it could, had it stopped the
unwise deployment of FOO != foo for their local parts - which I believe
is still many times smaller than the autocorrect on virtual keyboard
problem on offline signed zones that is left unaddressed when a
lowercase() call is left out of this document.
It is only the least bad way if you make the assumption that I've only
seen made by you.
John is an expert on email and so the other experts on email don't need
to correct him ... When (implausibly) he says something which is not
correct then you will see other email experts (of which there are a few
on this list, but probably not all that many) will undoubtedly chip in
I'll leave this item on how to contribute and reach consensus to the
chairs, but thank you for your public contribution of agreeing with
John.
