Which drives to a conclusion, that generally kernel-developers
(rightfully) dislike capital letters in file- and, even more so, in
directory-names. And the only directories named with capitals are some
arch-specifics, and Documentation. Well, was the latter named so to avoid
using the doc(umentation) pattern?:-)
