I agree that this sounds like a change with very unclear BC implications at
best, and bad ones at worst, with dubious benefit. Just how much performance
would we gain from case sensitive class names? If it's 20%, OK, sure, that may
be worth whatever BC breaks that causes on the margins. If it's 0.2%, then
frankly, no, the PR cost of pissing off people who have to manage edge cases is
not worth the hassle.
At the moment, I'm leaning No on this change, because the cost/reward/backlash
ratio is just not there to support it.

Would be good to see some real-world metrics, whether or not they're the
principal/only reason this might be a good change.
