There's an obvious need for mixed case in passwords to enable greater
variety and hence obscurity. However, I hope that IBM *don't* announce
support for case-sensitive entity names in the "MVS" side of z/OS! It's
my observation that there's a low but persistent level of frustration and
time-wasting caused by "wrong case" misspellings of command verbs and
operands, userids and filenames in Un*x and Linux environments. Usually a
defacto local standard is imposed anyway: ("let's make all userids
lowercase") but why go there in the first place?

case the user-id is for remote system, they can put in all upper, all
lower, or mixed, but RACF will convert to upper.
I not even sure if IBM has announced support for lower/mixed-case
user-ids. I know they have announced support lower/mixed-case passwords.
