Comment (by Carlos Killpack <carlos.killpack@…>):
Whose idea was it to make usernames case-sensitive in the first place? I
suppose nothing can be done at this point, but y'all probably should have
thought about it a bit more before committing yourselves to it for so
long. ''It was a stupid decision.''
Think about a user logging into a Django-powered site, do you think she
gives a shit about which letters she capitalized when she filled out the
registration form? I doubt it. Why even make her remember? Capitalization
isn't that important!
