For what it's worth, I subscribe to that view too. What impresses me 
the most about Python is the ease with which I can understand somebody 
else's code. That is because Python forces its users to have a much 
more consistent programming style than any other language I know of.

Having case sensitivity is a part of that, as you don't have to deal 
with many individual casing preferences. Even if it wouldn't break a 
line of code that alone would be enough reason not to change Python in 
this respect. In my humble opinion, of course.
