 Are we talking about full case-sensitivity (User:Aa being a different
 account that User:aa; special:recentchanges not found, etc) or simply
 about case-preservation in titles?

 Would the change mean that the already existing articles stay capitalised,
 or would they be converted to lower case? Would the existing links be
 converted as well?

 At this moment there's enough confusion with 1.3 intruduction and fixing;
 perhaps we should wait with the case-sensitivity issue until the new interface
 problems are resolved and there's time to deal with the situations the new case
 treatment might cause?
