The scheme and hostname parts must be case-insensitive[1], but the rest of the URI may be case-sensitive or case-insensitive at the preference of the web server. Which is terrible, but reality. That said, since hostname is permitted to be case-insensitive, I'd like to support "Fedora-XXXXXXXX" as the proposed name, because Fedora in our case is a proper noun (which has specific meaning and emphasis in English, at least). A fedora is a hat. Fedora is a way of life :-D [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.2
