The idea behind forcing it is that it maintains maximum
functionality without the user having to use special mount
options. For example, if a Linux user creates a file "README.txt" then
the name will be preserved exactly, whereas without that hackery it
becomes README.TXT on disk.

It does mean we are mixing up two things with that config option
though, which is why I asked you about it. Would you prefer to just
let the distros worry about the default mount options when someone
plugs in a VFAT device on a system with
CONFIG_VFAT_NO_CREATE_WITH_LONGNAMES set? 

Or maybe we should change the defaults in parse_options() when this
option is set?

Cheers, Tridge
