This section is a bit misleading.  I believe it tries to embrace cases like
p5-* ports which are OK to be mixed cased for the reasons of retaining
similarity to their CPAN names.  For 99% of other ports this rule should
not be applied.

Especially if "mixed" name looks just plain dumb and ugly.  We should not
uphold upstream's stupidity.

Thanks for readding in advance.
