Actually there is a minor reason to prefer lower case.
ISO9660 standard filenames are lowercase 8.3 format, I believe.
Thus writing an uppercase name requires one of the minor format extensions.
Which is a rather moot point, as Joliet is used on Win32,
RockRidge on Linux, HFS on Mac, and are pretty much universal
standards, widely accepted and implemented now.
I can't see any "important" usage of CD's with rpm packages
on them requiring 8.3 support. I'm not even sure if our
current ISO images even support 8.3 via TRANS.TBL anymore
or not.
While I of course agree lowercase filenames are superior
for various reasons, this one isn't compelling. ;o)
