I don't think we concluded whether we should use "Dag"  or "dag" - but I
think the important goal of why we decided on dropping the "DAG" as acronym
was that we want to really start "owning" the "Dag" term - "Dag" really
meaning "Airflow Workflow".
I think using capitalized form "Dag" fulfills that goal better than "dag".
