----------------------------------------------
> OK, another comparison: mke2fs doesn't ask for confirmation at all. I checked

Not asking for confirmation and case insensitive are also different.
Moreover, since the "-format" command is there for years, I wonder if there are
some admins already taking advantages of the fact that 'y' won't format. For
example, the 'yes' command outputs lower case y's.
> Yes. But I already addressed it so no need to retroactively tag it as such

Okay, I think you like to leave the easy issues for the new contributors.
> Format confirmation prompt should be more lenient of its input
